Light on

I too know the betraying sharpness the 
Terrible eye can bring with ordinary,

Beautiful things.

 

I uncover earth to meet God's soaring sky,

Mostly at the feet of clouds 

That hide from us the terrible sunlight.

 

I'm coming out of storms. I'm barely me

Most times. 

 

I too know the betraying sharpness is lesser

Than the eye can shed light on.
