Eternal Illumination #1144

Eternal Illumination (Beyond the Fading Stars) In realms where stars forsake their glow, And moons conceal their silvered face, Where suns, too tired to burn, bow low, A steadfast light retains its grace. This luminescence, pure, profound, Outshines the sun's brief, seven-day arc, A beacon where no bounds are found, A spark divine, a holy mark. Your essence—more than dust and flame, A deeper fire, a sacred gleam— Guides paths unknown, a constant flame, Where shadows flee and spirits dream. Scriptures speak of a place divine, No sun nor moon to pierce the night; The city glows by God's design, Its lamp—the Lamb, the endless light. The Lord, our light, will never fade, Our mourning ends, His glory stays; In His bright realm, we're unafraid, Forever bask in His pure rays. Here, in the fusion of divine And mortal threads, your light does shine, A testament to the sublime, Where stars may dim, but you remain. Written by Steven G. Lee (May 3, 2024)
