Look up, little one —
there is a light to guide you
through the wistful night,
through the longing day

There is a place you are received
and not just at the end
of a long and lonely span

Your reception is right here, right now,
in the ever-present truth about your being
(a truth that never leaves you,
being immanently what you are)

It touches in
to the infinity that fuels your presence,
releases grace into your day,
robes you in its royal essence,
lights up everything
along your way.
