You Are The Light

You Are The Light

Dear God

You are the light

of the heavens and the earth.
The smile of your light
is a lamp in a globe of glass,

as if it were a shining star,
lit from a blessed olive tree

Neither of the East nor of the West,
its light nearly luminous
even if fire did not touch it.
Light upon light!

You guide to your light
whomever you will:
and you give people examples;
because you know all things.

Amen

(Adapted from the Qur'an - 24:35 - Al 'Nuur - The Light)
