The ferris wheel was lit tonight
and in the Melbourne sky
it sparkled bright like cellophane;
the stars hid in reply.
The moon no longer blazed, fire-red,
for rain had quenched the ground,
and stillness sat with dancing light
in quaint, harmonious sound.
Why night must come, the stars can't say -
they dazzle all the while;
yet city lights distract our eyes
and paint the evening's smile.
And ferris wheels - bright, moving, bright -
share with the night their hue,
yet quietness echoes with peace
and space has beauty too.
And so I sat while nighttime sang;
the Sovereign of the Day
gives light and shade alike and proves
His glory in each way.

Lovely, Matthew! Matches the Scripture I read today from Isaiah 30:15, “This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: ‘Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength.’ “
Thankyou! And what a beautiful scripture too.
