200. New Light—Second by Second
Each day now is a tiny bit longer. Each day now the sunset is seconds later. The light lasts and brightens, even in the midst of winter.

Star Light
—
world was wracked
with war – oppression
poverty under powers
—
milling crowds
under orders to register
filled streets and
sleeping spaces
—
into that chaos
came simplicity and
upside-down theology
held in place by
a star full of light
—
centuries later
powers persist
wars wage on
chaos continues
and
the simplicity of love
still lives in the
star light
—
but now
oh yes – now
the light shines
in you
in me
in us
