A Poem by Ross Meyer

The rising sun works oft unseen

Wonders on a sleeping world. 

Those with eyes to see can stand 

In its rays, illuminated in awe,

Knowing it is not a spotlight,

But rather the blinding brilliance

Of the passing back of glory.

Ross lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina with his wife and three children. He writes to process the deep emotions that intersect faith and life. He is a pastor by day and a poet by moments of inspiration under a starry sky or minutes of peace on a path through the Smokies.
