Twilight
A Poem by Joel Adcock
If you are Light — I am twilight
Radiating into my darkness
Not overcome by night
Burning eternally
My singularity
Your flame fills our contexts
Foolishly we look upon our world
Not noticing the light filling it
I long to bear witness to you
I see you
Your shine has shown me who I am
Once blind, only feeling the burn of my Necessity
I now gaze upon the face that outshines the suns
My wick was without a glow
But then proximity to The Luminescent One
Set fire to my soul
If you are Light — I am twilight
The beams from within me — a refraction from you
Light thats still true
But is of the Son upon this moon
My light is lunar — a mirror
Glaring from my Source, I keep you in view
If you are Light — I am twilight
Humbly bearing witness to Your hues.
