A Prayer for Light

Oh light, so elusive, so sublime!
A fragrance from beyond
How subtle your sight on a thin layer of ice, 
Or the wings of a dragonfly,
How magical the hues you create on the cotton of clouds,
How shimmering your reflection on the lake,
How beautiful the cyclamen wrapped in your subtle silk,
Your elusive, untouchable presence,
Grows the glamour of everything in our world,
Glows in the eyes of everyone you behold!
I cannot take my eyes off you,
Our world would be so dull and dark, so empty without you!
With you, oh light, our eyes are worthwhile, our days so bright!
