a mere silhouette

Just before the sun fully rises, the sky {slowly} begins to fill with light.

Silhouettes of trees and peeks of houses are outlined in dark. The eye has to focus intently to see below the brightness above.

Darkness is hard to see in brilliant light. 

I have to squint to see the houses below--where it's darker--and just barely I See, windows first. Always *windows* first.

Brightness of the impending rising sun and full bright sky draw the eyes upward, nudging them to Stay there--speaking: Don't miss This!

My eyes want to be *There* when the sun splashes pink and orange beauty in the clouds. To notice.

It takes just a brief moment until the eyes can see the houses more clearly without squinting and focusing.

Our windows open to Grace-splashed beauty. 

In those precious few minutes when the light is just beginning to fill the sky and the dark joyfully welcomes in the day, preparing to dissolve in her shadows--it's almost Heavenly. A rare moment to notice.

A blending of the dark and the light, silhouettes are the *standing back*--honoring this majestic moment. 

I feel the same about dawn breaking open, as with my life.

The comfort of who I am is tucked safely in the shadows of His light radiating over me.

A new day begins and I can't help but See. My eyes are drawn upward as Grace is unwrapped in tendrils of beauty.

There's a blending here. He does not overwhelm Me, a silhouette of His Majesty. I have Purpose, and I Hope to be evidence of Him.

If I am fully There--my eyes focused on Him--I surrender, as a silhouette.

Light is most evident on the darkest canvas. 

I understand this through the reading back of my story. Of His Grace.

Thank you, Father, for being beauty in me and giving me eyes to See.
