The Light

Shining down into the mauve shadows path
It blinds some in justified wrath
Neither ore picks it up in the glory
Iron nor bronze can tell his old story
In truth it shines the brightest only when
A foolish sinner skips the lions den
Gave into saving, his heart now on fire
The light shone in, heavens desire
Stand there awhile, take a deep breath, and rest
This light puts us all to the test.

This is quite the beautiful write my friend! I really enjoyed the intricate pathway you put before us, of a sinner moving along stepping into the unknown! And eventually finding the true light! Awesome poem Tim, Great Work!!
