The First Gift

The First Gift In the beginning God created light and it was good. Light First gift to creation - Omnipotent radiance - Trailing capes of celestial wonder For the first new scented dawn Past cherubic tinted twilight No lambent refractions Announcing the anointed in clear beams On locked gates With the radiance of lucent prophecy - Hovering illumination For candles in Babylon’s willow boughs - Astral beacon framing the mystery At the entrance of the radiant Daystar With clarity for blind ears And opaque deafened eyes Lightning revelations for banished, Defeated darkness Rising like a burnished solstice, Cloudless as the eternal Word’s Never extinguished lantern in the timeless city – Aura of the Everlasting love. 12-15-20 Contest: Light Sponsor: Regina McIntosh
