Dazzle and Glow
by Kathy Galloway/Love Burning Deep

Did the sun ever shine so brightly again?
Was there ever again a day of such distinction?
Did the light and shadow ever compliment each other quite so gracefully?

On that day, I remember, I ate chicken soup,
and rode a tractor throught the fields of heaven to certify sheep.

On that day, I put my head down on my arms and wept,
and a friend told me he loved me.

On that day, I hugged another friend in the glory-hole beneath the stairs.

On that day, I thought I would die of feeling,
But lived to wash the coffee cups at midnight.

On that day, we ran like children to the door
and tood and sighed like children at the northern lights,
painting the dark sky with a wash of silver.

On that day, mystery and mundanity embraced, and
caught me in their arms for ever more.

What a blessing of a day!
The benediction of the dazzle of water in a ditch,
and the glow of love, light, and night.
