Hide your light

because

we can not hold you

or touch you

we can not even see you

with our fragile eyes

because

your light is overwhelming

your glory devastating

your power

is too much for us

please

hide your light

in the shadows

and reflections

hide in the wind

in nature and fire

hide in the beauty

of a waterdrop

hide in the colours

of a hopeful rainbow

hide in the silence

of my restless heart

hide in a miracle

covered by mud

hide in the broken pieces

of shattered love

hide in the teardrops

hide in the call

of desperate mothers

hide in the prayer

of a lonely child

hide in stammering words

hide in pity and grief

in sorrow and sins

hide

deep down

in brokenness

and pain

enligthen

our world

enlighten

our hearts

whisper

your spirit

in passers-by

please

sparkle

the lights

of our trembling candles

and reflect 

in our mirrors

your grace and mercy

as tiny little lights

for other seekers

and put

lots of 

little love

in our broken vessels
