A Lesson from the Morning Star

A poem from F.G.M,,WORDS IN THE LIGHT, one of the most beautiful poems I’ve ever read. Hope you all enjoy his words as much as I did.

WORDS IN THE LIGHT

The world is my school
I said like a fool
and I questioned Mrs. Moon.

Do we have to reflect sunlight too?
“not necessarily”
She replied.

Then I asked Professor Sky.
Is there a way to fly?
“There is…” He said,

“…but not the one you think!”
So what is the main Lesson?
I whispered to the Morning Star.

“There are only three things
you need to know
before entering my Realm.

How to live. How to give
and above all,
how to forgive.”

Those were the words I heard
at the break of Dawn,
a Lesson from the Morning Star.
