Inspired prayer

spiritual light
emerging
from its source
acts not like a flashbulb—one sudden, explosive
BURST in the dark
intense/brief/absorbed/consumed—
but
as the piercing shaft of a searchlight
cutting across the night,
it beacons/draws/gathers in
the lost and afraid,
and in a sweeping caress,
illumines all it enfolds in the spotlight of its beam
focusing/magnifying/revealing
precise images of God's own being.
