Mary E.W. Stephenson Poet Light Verse

A Glittering Reflection In the Sun

I was a fool who made waste in this parsimonious world.
It was nonsensical of me to think that I could find comfort
outside the covenant of your love.
When I was famished you became my portion.

When my soul was distant from the truth and I was spiraling
down into darkness, you lit before mine eyes a flaming light of
wisdom.
I am redeemed.
You are my  redeemer.
I am the river.
You are the source.
I am born again.
You are my deliverer.
I am a  glittering reflection in the sun.

You are the source. That's my favorite but it's all well spoken. Mary E.W. Stephenson October 21, 2016 at 8:22 AM Thank you. God bless.
