The Light of the First Day

 In the beginning

     on the first day

       there was a light

        light of all lights

shined on that day.

Every moment it shines

     inside and outside

       never dimmed

         though at times

it seems invisible.

  

Still always it shines

    sometimes obscured 

      by the darkness

        of loss and grief

but even then prevailing.

In the ending,

    on the last day

      of time spent here

       dimmed for a moment

then brilliant like eternity.
