In the law of reflection
everyone is bright
(nothing is created or destroyed)
The light that rests on them
is the same,
and as it always has,
it shares its brilliance in full strength
with every thing.
And any time we fail to see it,
it’s just that it’s refracted
some other way —
turned toward a world, perhaps,
we haven’t even seen,
focused to bless
somewhere we haven’t known.
They will all do what they must
to find the place
where their brightness offers
the one clear shining ray that’s needed most.
Each has that gift
and each will give it
in the steady rhythm
of the law of light.
