Love Radiant

The early morning sunlight breaks

across the room and darkness fades.

Yet, when the sunlight seems to go

the room retains a constant glow.

Lo!  What light betrays that burning star

who covers its face behind clouds afar?

The beauty and radiance of the early morn

was not the sun’s to own. Oh, scorn!

The owner of that light so true

comes not from that celestial sphere,

but, radiates...from you!
