Reflection

Wendy Rice

I walk by still waters.
A reflection can be seen.
I do not recognize it.
Who can it be?

I see the fire.
I see the glory.
What has been created?

It is a masterpiece.
Majestically seen.
The light is glorious.

It is my father.
It is him in me.
I am the city on the mountain.
Let light be.
