Title: One Thousand Gifts/// The night I fell from the sky/ the dog star shone on a temple of trees;/ dovekeepers,/ they came from a lineage of grace.// Where the red fern grows,/ wild apples lay on leaves of grass./ A deer hears rumors of water,/ and follows the stone crossings home.// The barn owl coos about/ the secret life of bees/ to an elegant gathering of white snows.// Over the sounds and silences,/ the last coyote calls/ the song of the blood orange moons/ to the princes of the Milky Way.// The Good Earth is a holy mount/ where every bush is burning./ It is a moveable feast/ of bread and ashes,/ the thistle and the rose,/ and dawns mistaken for dusk. // The night I fell from the sky,/ a dog star shone /on a temple of trees; dovekeepers,//they came from a lineage of grace. // As I lay dying beneath/ a blossom rain,/ tender is the night.// From across the ancient waters/ comes the weight of glory/ and the allure of hope,/ necessary endings and final beginnings.// Grand Weaver, whisper my name,/ of you my heart has spoken. ////// Book Authors: One Thousand Gifts (Ann Voskamp) The Night I Fell from the Sky (me); The Dog Star (Peter Heller); A Temple of Trees (Suzanne Hudson MacAdam); A Lineage of Grace (Francine Rivers);Where the Red Fern Grows (Wilson Rawls); Wild Apples (Henry David Thoreau); Leaves of Grass (Walt Whitman); Rumors of Water (L.L.
