Transfiguration

by Catherine Smith | Feb 6, 2016

A single lit candle with a bright flame burns against a dark black background, its smooth, rounded surface and gentle glow capturing a moment of quiet transfiguration in the light.

Holy One,

We have come
carrying our days, like torches
or tea lights,
touching darkness.

Who knows
by the thing that is lifted,

the question
the song,
the touch,
the story of light strange and holy as sunrise ~

Who knows
what belovedness
will become transparent
to us,
in us.

We have come carrying our days.
We pray
to be seeing ~
