I Saw A Light

I looked up
 in the bleak darkness of the night time sky
 when I can't find my way in the dark
I saw a light
  smaller than a speck of dust
Then I saw another
  and another
  then multitudes on multitudes
Filling the sky like sand fills the beach
   Like water fills the oceans
   Like dirt fills the ground beneath
Flickering, some brighter, some not
  What would be giant masses up close
  Reduced to pinhead by distance 
  Millions of miles away

Then I saw a light
  rising in the Eastern sky
  Large and glorious filling the earth beneath with its light
But it did not produce light
  bur only reflection of light
Bright orange in the horizon
  larger than life
  slowly rising up the dark sky 
  the first lights growing dim
Reaching the pinnacle
  then receding downward
  growing dimmer as it gave in to the day

Then I saw a third light
   Only the rays at first
  Bouncing off the clouds in
  reds, yellows, oranges
  Skimming across the sky
Brighter and brighter 
  Rays upon rays
Then an explosion of light
  brighter than all the others
  so bright it was hard to look at
Filling my eyes
Filling the sky
Larger and larger as it rose up high
All the other lights vanished
Only one remained
Filling the earth with it's glow
Running across the sky
  casting shadows all the day long
Then the light recessed 
  back to the horizon
  again castings glowing colors 
  off the waiting clouds
  until the source of light disappeared behind the horizon
  leaving in its wake wave after wave of brilliant light
Until darkness once again appeared

I saw a light
The Light
The Light brighter than all other lights
The Light that reveals the inward parts
  the inward thoughts and intents 
The Light that penetrates the darkness in my soul
The Light that was from the beginning 
  and will always be
Nothing can hide from this Light
No one cam hide from this Light
This Light never fades
  It never goes out 
  It transcends all other lights
This Light reveals sin 
This Light expels the darkness of the soul
This Light needs no other light
  because there is no other light thar compares
This Light is the Sun
This Light is Jesus.
