  • Is God the Light that Shines? A Poem.

    Is God the Light that Shines? A Poem.

    the sun.
    the sun emits light.
    the light travels.
    but does light die?
    does it ever stop traveling?
    if not, to what end does it travel?

    light travels with no destination.
    it is eternal.
    it is forever.
    light can be created but it can never die.

    what if light is God?
    what if God is light?
    eternal and forever.

    in day hours God fully envelopes His earth,
    but in the night evil roams freely.
    in the day we live and pray,
    in the night, the Devil’s henchmen wreak their havoc.

    is God the light that shines?
    we sleep to await His coming.
    to pass one night like the last.
    awaiting His morning.

    the sun

    the sun emits light

    the light travels

    does light die?

    does it ever stop traveling?

    to what end does it travel?

    light travels with no destination

    its eternal

    its forever

    light can be created but it can never die

    wjat if light is god

    what if God is light

    eternal and forever

    in day hours god envelopes us

    in the night evil roams freely

    in the day we live and pray

    in the night the devils henchmen wreak their havoc

    is God the light that shines?

    we sleep to await his coming

    to pass one nightlike the last

    awaiting His morning

    I can't say I particularly like this poem. I'm not catholic and I find it very hard to apply any of these words to my own spirituality.

    In this poem I was referring to physical light, yes. But, I intended to leave the reader's understanding of what "Light" could mean open to personal interpretation. :)

    What about the light within us? It seems that you're speaking of the physical light we see?
