Evening Song

Evening Song

Our sun

drops away

in the west;

and one by one

other suns

glisten

in a darkening sky.

Though faint

to our eyes,

each light point

radiates through

billions of miles

of vibrant darkness.

That light, Lord,

is from you,

given by

your gracious hand;

given by

pierced hands

that conquer darkness.
