beach-walking
in the dark
ice-lined shore

all around me
night air
holds its breath

cusp of infinity

how small
how small
footsteps feel

stars reach out
extend their offering

o wise man
o wise woman
stars beckon*

this corridor
infinite trail
of straight and narrow**

come
follow follow follow

lose not sight
of this Light

Christ

silent voice
singing out the sky
silently silently

beacon song
within
around
above

light of Light:

shining out the night
