Star Nurseries
God promises Abraham
posterity more than sands
of all the seas,
and the Father of Nations
asks who they will be.
The answer glows
in stars of glory,
some appearing small
as specks of golden dust
that will float in the beam
of morning as it
enters his finite tent
and shines upon the bed
where Isaac will be born.
Tonight my children sleep.
I dim the lamp, pass
through quiet, humble doors
to ponder points of light.
I search the sky for galaxies
where stars are formed,
other stellar nurseries.
