A Ray of Light

I am a ray of light

Emanating from God.

A source of light

Dimly shining, brightly aspiring.

I absorb, reflect, transform

The light around me.

Even in the deepest darkness

Of my physical existence,

I experience the ebb and flow of light.

Blinded not by the light,

My eyes are filled

With the objects of our physical reality.

I accept my blindness

And strive ahead.

A ray of light

Returning to God.

August, 1980
