Light Unseen

I believe in light unseen

In space not traveled

In life undreamed

I believe in all things good,

Good in all things;

In sound unheard,

In truth unlearned,

In love unknown, 

In realms unshown,

In beauty unborn,

And Light - 

Unseen. 

God's Light

God is
Filled with light
He is Light -
He shines like the sun.

He gives light to me,
He shines in my soul
And I am happy
He gives me so much peace.
God is light;
He is my light
He shines like the sun
In me.

How Does the Light, (parts I and II)

I.

How does the light
Get through to me?
Can it penetrate me?
How does it come into me
And shine from me?
Can it emanate from me?

I want this light Divine
It shines so gently
And so warmly
Into mine
Sometimes
It burns within me.

What peace I find
As God refines
My deepest feelings.



II.

How does the light

Come to me

And shine through me

It will emanate from me

Eventually.

Shine and glow,

Burn and warm and shine

Inside and out

A smile, warm, and bright

And kind

And eyes

That shine and gleam

And goodness

All throughout

And hands that seem

So gentle, graceful, touching

Gently

To comfort, to caress, with

Utmost tenderness

This place I've seen

So white and clean

And glowing

Soft and warm

Inside my heart

Happy and content

I see your eyes

I hear your voice

Your sweet, clear voice

And touch your face

I can't describe

The feeling.

So soft

And smooth

And radiating

...Burning

But without

Consuming.

Such a power,

Such a gentle power

Enveloping

Everything around

And to what extent -

To Endlessness,

But small enough

To hold me.
