The Light

a finger of light from the presence of God
reaching through time and space
flooding creation
the work of his hands
with peace
hope
love

the light of God touches an angel
at the very heart of his being
kindling a spirit of fire
shedding the message
of power
justice
holiness

the light of God touches a demon
who deflects the glory away
finding no light within
casting a shadow behind
of war
fear
envy

the light of God came down to earth
to give peace, hope, love
the shadow of death
giving way to life
arisen
seated
returning

this light of God touches a man
warming his spirit within
once standing in shadow
now walking in light
of peace
hope
love

The Light
