A bit of poetry

Plus a beautiful sunset

“XXVII Dominus Illuminatio”

by Malcolm Guite

Oh let me see with his eyes from now on
Whose gaze on beauty makes it beautiful,
Who looks us into love and looks upon
His whole creation with a merciful
And loving eye. My heart has said of him
Seek out his face, I’ve sensed his bountiful
Presence shimmering behind the dim
Veil of things. That presence calls to me
Calls me to tremble at the brink and rim
Of lived experience, and then to free
Myself of fear. to trust him, and to dive
Right off that brink, into his mystery 
Into that deep and holy sea of love
In which the living worlds all float and swim
To dare each moment’s death, that I might live.

Have a blessed week dear readers!
