Light Comes

It is a time of quiet still.
Early, yes; but not yet the dawn.
Whisper, speak softly lest
you wake the trees.

Walk gently through the wet
grass. Be mindful of the
little ones who sleep still,
nestled in the pine needles.

Prepare yourself for what is
about to happen. In moments
or minutes the world will be
transformed before your eyes.
Darkness and light will embrace
and very slowly all that exists
around you will come into focus.
You will see because of the Light.
Vision is always clearer when Light comes.

Listen for the birds’ songs, for they
are the heralds of Light. You will
know it is day when the singing begins.
You will know it is day when you
stand in wonder, hearing your
heart say: My Lord and my God.

May peace follow your steps today,
and may hope hold your hand.
See. The Light comes.

Amen
