Do I view the light though a blue
serious melancholic outlook
Or an indignant deeper shade of integrity and self worth?
Do I use the filter of the softness of the tranquil sky
Or only let through the healing blue of flowing waters?
Do I use the opacity of black to
lessen the impact?
A darkness that confuses the mysteries of the gospel
Do I use grey to muddy the light with my human miscomprehension
A slight discolouration casting doubt on the intended meaning?
Do I use a red hue to make it seem
angry and revengeful
A deep red breathing fire and brimstone?
Do I haze the light with crimson, the blood of self sacrifice
Or add a dash of the flowery pink of passion and beauty?
Do I concentrate the yellow to make
the light all cherry and happy
A facade of the coveted warmth of friendship, faith and love?
Do I taint the light with the orange of my own enthusiasm
With undying determination, fervour and self confidence?
Do I strain the light with the purple
of royalty and splendor
Concentrate the violet dominance of the never changing God?
Is it flavoured with the deep indigo shadows of evening gloom
Or the lilac of nostalgia and the memory of experience?
Do I dye the light green for the
freshness of hope
Focus on the aqua of God’s ocean of deep forgiveness?
Do I covet the olive of peace and the oil of smoothness
Stain it with the lime green of stagnation, inaction and despair?
The true light is a clear concise
white
Slightly blue in the morning, with tinges of red at sunset
The rainbow of God’s promises joined together in the correct proportions
Unfiltered pure giving warmth and the vibrancy of life
Lord help me to not contaminate Your
word to me
By adding my reasonings, and extracting things with my unbelief
Lord if you speak how can I comprehend the meaning?
Unless Your spirit dwells in me and how can I interpret?
Lord dwell in me, let my life give forth a certain sound
The pure clear unadulterated reflection of Your light
