Closer To Source

Dusk was fast setting in

And I, caught between the wall and a candlelight 

The little lumen cast a silhouette on the barrier

Faint it was but clearly forming

 

The closer the light came

The larger the umbra

And the converse was also true

Then my consciousness awakened

 

Dusk wore on

And the Opaque Blanket finally fell

In my strengthened realization

It was obvious, I thought

The closer I am to my Light

The bigger He makes me 

And no matter what I’m up against

This one truth remains eternal – 

 

The closer I am to The Light

The bolder I am made to be

In myself, I am nothing

In Him, I am everything
