His Bounteous Light

My pact with God transcends your fear
  and all professed religion

The faith I have, the joy I feel
  not subject to your laws

My relationship is one on one
  whose heart is freely given

To live inside his bounteous light
  —resplendent and in awe

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2018)
