Consume me with fire

that does not burn.

Let me shine forth

like the midday sun.

Bathe me in the light of Tabor.

*

I yearn to be aflame

like Seraphim of Sarov,

or Abba Joseph in the desert.

Like Adam in the garden,

clothe me in radiance.

*

Illumine me

that I might be a beacon.

Enlighten me

that I might reflect

the glory of Your endless dawn.

*

Yet, if such majesty

is not meant for me,

let me flicker,

a candle in the darkness,

Do as You will and transfigure me.
