Description The sun shines as bright at night
As it ever does at noonday
And yet it is hidden from our view
As if it wasn’t there

Where is the sun?
In the darkness of night
Do we really know it’s there?
When we can’t see its light

Turn your gaze upward in the midst of the night
And though its face is hidden from view
You will know the sun shines on
If you just look to the moon

Where is the Son?
In a world of night
They don’t believe He’s there
When they can’t see His light

But if you will be a moon
And reflect His light
God will be revealed
And break through their night

Will you be a moon?
A simple reflection…

I have never thought of it in that way before. A brilliant metaphor, truly! I enjoyed your description of the poem just as much as the poem itself. You are very articulate.

Wowzers. I've had that same thought before. We being moons, reflecting the Son's light. This is lovely, both your paragraph and your prose.

Nah, more like less than gifted people can't make any sense of my ramblings. Of course, the gifted ones probably can't either. But I was just joking.

I suppose it's a bit of a case of semantics really. We are the light of the world, but it's not really our light, it's Christ's light in us. His image, portrayed through His body. Apart from God I would have no light to offer, so really it isn't my light, it's His light in me, or a reflection... Although a bit more than a reflection in a sense as it radiates from the inside...
