'Tis Only the Splendor of Light Hideth Thee

I see life through glasses

so I see lens flare

At the touch of the sun

rays diffract through the glass

and they shine

glowing columns hiding what lies behind

I see life through glasses

covered in tiny motes of dust

and never notice the dust

until the sun falls on it

and it gleams

obstructing my vision

I see life with weak eyes

which cannot handle so much light

When I look at the sun

I am dazzled

and I see phantom colored spots

that never existed

I can only see that the sun is round

when it is hidden behind a cloud

I can only see that God is love

when Love is cloaked in human form
