Illuminant

Where timeless

praise entertains days

and love-filled lives

bloom and never fade,

where warmth and comfort

clothe and keep

and fellowship spreads

like an Autumn blanket of gold.

Where you and I and us and them

are one in wonder

won in joy

and all, it seems,

is illuminescent light.

Where no shade or shadow

hides ambushing hateful hurts

nor greed nor pride

need constant feed.

Where all imagination's tides

fall short of reality

and ‘You are’ becomes ‘I AM’,

the passing curtain lifted

reveals worship unconfined.

Let's all raise our candle

and celebrate light

a flickering festival

of hopefilled delight.

Tiny flames joining

together as one,

a lighthouse lantern;

illuminant Son.
