Forever shining

Whit Larsen

The sun sets,
ducking below the horizon.
Darkness blankets the landscape.
Yet fear, the awful dim it seems to bring, is futile.

My heart inherently knows
the sun hasn’t gone anywhere;
it only seems to have moved from my sight.
I am undisturbed by this limited perspective.

God, like the sun, and Christ, the light you shine,
continue on,
radiating a brilliant glow
on others we cannot see.

The sun has never set.
Life has never left.
And as God’s light,
your shine can never be diminished.

Your life, as Life reflected,
continues on.
You have always been,
you will always be,
forever shining!
