My Window Is No Blank Surface Poem by Gert Strydom

My window is no blank surface
but is a bright reflection
of Your light that trickles through to me
as Your interest

from morning twilight
where day and night
penetrate deeper into my life
while I wait upon thoughts coming from You

where every facet of my life now is getting meaning
as Your sharpening, Your forming into a new existence
free from my conceit, my weakness,
where your light, truth and love are going right through me

I know that You bring consciousness
and Your glory, Your splendour is circling out brighter.
