asks our soul
to wait
so our eyes
can adjust
to the dark
And
Something happens
New colors, and
a feeling of coolness, relief
and being
beneath the surface
of things
and in on the secret
and free
Starlight pervades -
brave, awful,
impavid, severe
Like the Lion
silent
steady
beside you
Sometimes He
asks our soul
to wait
so our eyes
can adjust
to the dark
