of all the stars
in that heaven
the one shines most
shines bright and even.
fervent hot
unglaring,
it boils and burns
providing deepest nights with even more brilliant light.
When do I stand out but in darker depths?
The effervescent family of Truth
exudes the day,
that revels in undending glow,
lightheart bounty flowing freely
pure white set to give life
and that more abundantly for growth-
the unveiling of shame as a falsity
only my eyes now see
the world - its fruit - in fulness
as I stand in wonder.
