I pray for light (Light!)
to sustain me today
with flickers of warmth
and laughter
with the steady glow of love
and friendship
with the bright joy of
anticipation
with the still-burning hope
of compassion.
I give thanks for light (Light!)
that encourages me onward
with gleams that illuminate
the purpose
and shadows that obscure
the details
with playful shimmers
that tease my uncertainty
and glares of the holy
that compel me to peace.
