Ode to the Divine Light

by Annie B © 2024

In whispers soft, in grandeur bold,
The blaze that turns the shadow cold,
You are the whisper in the dawn,
The canvas on which stories are drawn.

With every breath and every heartbeat's sound,
Where creatures lost and creatures found
find our presence resonates in Earth's release
In awe of the warmth Your rays unleash.

In the quiet of the moonless night,
Guiding sailors through the tempest's might,
You are the gleam within the stars,
Whispering hope to weary pilgrims afar.

The soft glow of the candle's flame,
All bear witness to Your name;
The fire dances in the cavern deep
To the power that only one can keep.

Through the prism of creation's song,
In the blossom's heart, You keep us strong.
You've weaved hues of red, gold, and blue
In the eyes that first beheld the world anew.

In the sacred texts of ancient lore,
Your light is the key, the open door
where wisdom's secrets are confined,
To the knowledge that the ages find.

You are the spark within the stone,
The life force in the seed that's sown;
The whisper of the wind alone,
The dance of fireflies on the lawn.

The sun that rises in the east,
The stars that in the heaven's feast,
The moon shines on her gentle face
All bear the imprint of Your grace.

When darkness falls and fear takes hold,
Guiding hearts lost, young and old.
You shine through with beams so bright
To the path that leads to divine light.

In the womb of every mother's pain,
For You are the flame that shall remain.
Your warmth is felt as a silent cheer
When all else fades without a tear.

O Light Supreme, Divine and Pure,
Within us all, forever sure,
Your glow transcends the mortal coil,
The spark that makes the spirit loyal.

In the quiet of the soul's retreat,
We find You as the perfect heat;
Where doubt and fear are laid to sleep,
To melt the chains of our deep grief.

As the dawn breaks forth in splendor fair,
So does Your presence, everywhere.
The night retreats in silent flight,
Banish shadows with Your heavenly light.

You are the guide in the abyss,
The gentle touch of the morning bliss,
The warmth in the coldest heart,
The balm for each new unfettered start.

Let us, in humility, adore,
The light that guides forevermore.
This gift from the heavens so high,
The soul that seeks the truth to apply.

With open eyes and hearts aglow,
We'll walk the path that You have shown;
Until the final breath, we draw,
In the warmth of God's own home.

For in You, O Light, we find our way,
You are the guide through night and day.
Through the trials that life will bestow,
There's an ever-present, gentle glow.

Eternal be Your reign, O Light,
May we reflect Your sacred might
Upon this world of shadow's plight
With every step, we stay and fight.

Let us be as beams that shine,
Until the very end of time;
On past long forgotten and obscure,
Our hearts are aflame with You, so pure.

Now and forever, let it be
In every act, in every decree,
That we embrace Your holy light
Let us bring forth Your heavenly sight.

For You have shown the way to be,
And in You, we shall forever see
A reflection of Your boundless love
One with the Source from up above.
