This poem doesn't have a title yet, but if anyone thinks of one, just let me know. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

**********************************************************************************************************

There’s a man in the sky and he bathes us in his light

A light that touches each of us

Washing away our sins

Our troubles

Our mistakes

An eraser hiding our delusion

In the margins of a book

A book checked out of the library and never returned

In the night

Shadows creeping down sidewalks

Boardwalks with abandoned balloons

Floating off across the stars

Spaceships radioing in their discoveries

And it’s all coming together like opening night

The curtain opens and the stage is lit

Lit up like the Fourth of July

Fireworks blasting off

Exploding in color

Into the morning with bleary eyes and whispering words

Hands clasped together as the sky melts

Dark fading with the radio crackle of the astronauts

As they are sleeping among the stars

Which are now gone again to slumber

Like the actors from the night before

The fireworks exploded

And with the world now waking

Balloons are waiting to be found

Amidst the children chatter in every room of the house

Which can no longer sleep

As the shadows withdraw for awhile

Making way for the man in the sky bathing us in light

I hope you enjoyed it. I'm trying out a new poem writing style.
