The Lamp*

What do I see,
in the stranger
the sky
the boss
the bride?

What light shines from me
as I look for the
Truth?

Distracted into rudeness
Clouds of nourishing water
Masks of confidence covering fear
The hope of all mankind in a dress

What lamp do I hold
on my own heart’s
desire
faith
fear
or
hate?

I suppose the answer is
as simple as it seems to be –
just another question:

From where does my lamp receive its light?


*See Luke 11:34-36
