Reflected Glory

Many of us have made our world so familiar that we do not see it anymore. An interesting question to ask yourself at night is, What did I really see this day?”

in the vagueness of dawn

a smattering of clouds

lounge on the horizon

gray and wraithlike

lacking substance

and

life

waiting for the light

then

kissed by the sun

they begin to glow

reflecting

a glory not yet seem

then brighter still

now dazzling white

against brilliant blue

holding the presence of Sacred fire

O Sacred light

so touch my life

that I may reflect

the penetrating fire

of your presence

and

love
