"Light of the World" - Laura Ketteridge 15 Jan 08

Light of the world,
light in our darkness.

A small, flickering flame,
insubstantial, wavering.

Growing in strength,
glowing in brilliance.

Glory of the Father,
Light of the World.

Then snuffed.
Extinguished.

On the third day, alight, aflame
towering radiance, incandescent glory.

The Light of the World, transcendent.
The Light of the World, glorified.
