These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Arkquains: "Celebrations"

Lights
buried
in the shade
waiting to shine,
expressing bright hope.
Though not seen by many eyes,
seen by Eyes of wondrous size.
Expectantly dance
to give Him praise.
Shining now
before.
Lights.

Souls
listen
for the tunes
of that great day
when unseen we'll see.
Celebrations will be known.
Hearts once timid will be grown.
Anticipation
of heart's desire
warm coats to
cover
Souls.

Blest
to be
in the gates
of His Honor
there forevermore.
Sinful once, now clothed in Grace,
Never parting from His Place,
Joyful Savior.
By one choice
His own,
Blest

Joy
upon
His Birthday,
throughout the years,
always dancing glad.
Lights and music celebrate
shines in darkness, ever great,
temporal here.
Expectance
of all
Joy
