On the light that shines down from heaven.

Image via Wikipedia

The divine light

flooded

across wide valleys

of dark despair

and steep mountains of strife;

creeping through

the deepest caverns

of frail humanity

and frayed mortality -

to seek out the lost and weary

and guide them back

to the illumined paths

of God’s grace

and righteousness -

that they may live

to reflect

the radiance of

the divine light.

    Sometimes the monsoon storms roll in and envelope the sky in dark, angry clouds… except for one tiny patch where the sun streams down, sending shafts of golden or silver light to the ground below. Whenever I see this I am awed, and your poem describes exactly how I feel.
