Luminescence Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

How is it that the word is gracious light?
That the light witnesses to the darkness
And bright in dark reflection, darkly bright,
Shines upon the comprehension?

In the beginning was the word manifest
That there should be greater enlightenment
And that those who make this atoned request
Should receive the true light's endorsement.

Come from the shadows into your own light
Be a lamp for yourself and take your place -
And return from the dark glass to plain sight
That you will know love and truth, face to face.

In such a life, light is everlasting
And words and luminesence self- recasting.
