Self-Existent Light

"Let there be Light!"
and so there was...

Without the Sun?
How so? Because

Our Father unfurled--
the Light of the world

The Sun and the Moon
--He created... soon--

but Light "self-existed"--
before Sun rays enlisted!

Thanks Valsa! :) As St. Augustine wrote, "...question the order of the stars, the sun whose brightness lights the days, the moon whose splendor softens the gloom of night;...They will answer you: 'Behold and see, we are beautiful.' Their beauty is their confession of God. Who made these beautiful changing things, if not one who is beautiful and changeth not?' Amen."
