Magnificent Light Poem by Danny Speicher

Months, seeming like years, in darkness and dread
Wondering when tomorrow's dawn would break
Praying an end to this constant heartache
Praying, 'Dear God, raise this heart from the dead'

Starting slower that I thought it would be
One ray broke through the horizon's dark clouds
Faintly breaking the terrifying shroud
As ray by ray, light poured in, I could see

Magnificent light, brighter than the sun
Gleaming brilliantly off each mountaintop
Illuminating those dark valley drops
And brought peace as darkness was now undone

Magnificent light, beam radiantly
Keeping fears and each dismay far from me
