Poetry: Undiminished illumination

Undiminished illumination
 
 
 Linger in the presence of its warmth.
 
 Capture the radiance of its glow.
 
 Reflect the brightness of its brilliance.
 
 
 To linger is to sit for a spell
 
 To capture is to truly be held
 
 To reflect is to image back your shine
 
 Undiminished illumination

I AM

UNDIMINISHED.

YOU ARE

UNDIMINISHED.

WE ARE

UNDIMINISHED.

Undiminished. So very undiminished.

It's cosmically impossible for my humanity or your humanity to be diminished. Our intrinsic worth is totally secure in the bosom of Love. He shepherds our identity, and He makes sure that our worth holds its value no matter what, unquestionably. Selah!
