In the spotlight

Some endure the spotlight;
others seek and enjoy it;
still others
prefer to shine it elsewhere;
to observe,
enlighten,
or simply highlight.
Here,
on this stage,
I kneel before the light,
opening
like a cup
to the Divine;
await illumination
on my knees:
exposed, welcoming,
clothed in simplicity,
poised to respond,
glowing softly
in Your radiant beams.
