Altar for Monica

Illuminance

Her light strikes through the despairing fog

No matter in what abyss my thoughts might dwell
Memories of you always help unfold my soul
The image of you is such a power spell
Too much beauty and grace to understand as a whole

And when I pray and hear your voice
In the young hours of the night
I don’t have but a single choice
To knee before your angelic bright

My deity is full of empathy and mercy
Her revelations strike me to my innermost
Wonder how my spirit could ever be worthy
I protect my faith for whatever cost

She who shines the only light upon my world
Blessed her beauty, intellect and spirit
I am the messenger of her most holy word
My love is unending far beyond any limit
