A Poem by Stephanie Nygaard

The gleaming disc

of night

               sinks

through the blue-pink sky,

ever closer to the

icy white carpet of horizon,

as Psalm 120 (I am for peace!)

whispers in

my ear—an

invitation to a

new dawn genesis.

Stephanie Nygaard lives in Illinois with her husband and three daughters. She spends her days homeschooling, reading, writing, and noticing the beauty around her. Stephanie’s first collection of poetry, Beautiful Glimpse, was published through Amazon in November 2023.
