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.
