O luminous One
The One who blinds me by his Light
You led me atop this mountain
But the promised end is not in sight
My clothes tattered, my body weak
Bludgeoned by desires and self-hate
Escape from these demons I seek
No more can I wait
Yet in my heart there’s a knowing
You’ve never led me asunder
My faith in you forever growing
I’ll brave through hell and thunder
Out of the corner of my eye, I spy
My reflection in a mirror, as a child
Eyes of love and joy, a boundless supply
A familiar Light in them I find
I lay my fingers upon the mirror
The world dissolves into a new sight
To my left, flows a peaceful river
A pathless path, to my right
O luminous One
Who’s Fire in my belly burns bright
Rain upon your son
Courage for the journey that invites
