Season For God

Of all the lights that exist 
none are more beautiful 
than Yours. 

It’s as if You gave us 
the lesser lights 
as a glimmer of hope 
in what’s to come. 

For one day soon 
You will be 
our only source of light. 
And we shall bask 
in Your sublime warmth 
forever. 

Until then, 
we marvel at the sun, 
the moon and stars 
at night; 

their reflections on water, 
tears in our eyes, 
dew on petals 
of flowers in the morning 

and raindrops on the glass 
we look hazily through 
in wonder like a memory 
of something 
none of us have seen 

but with a longing so deep 
we know it just as well.
