My Poetry 4: Sonset

(written May 26, 2009.)
Sonset
Day draws to a close
Son of Man and Our Father God
Gently paint the sky in glowing light
Perhaps the pathway to Heaven is the reflection on the water
It looks like a pathway home
Sunrises remind us of His Mercy
Sunsets remind me of Good Friday
Though it seemed so dark that terrible day
The Light of the World merely rested in the Earth
His Light never quenched just as the sun
never will stop rising as long as Earth exists
Though the night seems dark and long
The sun bursts through the darkness to bring us light.
Just as when we became Christians,
The Light of The World
Rose in our hearts removing all our darkness
How beautiful this is
How my heart bursts with joy that this is.
Beautiful that the mountain also is bathed in light
It means that through all the mountains of trial, heartache, and pain
we must face in this life He is with us as
He promised we are never alone
He never leaves us nor forsakes us
As the sunlight caresses the mountain,
So His Arms caress us gently with caring and concern
Giving us the strength for another day.

and For His Glory Alone.
