In Brilliance

In brilliance, He was transformed
radiant white light, shimmering on the mountain
God revealed the holiness of the Christ
the beloved Son of the Most High, of man
changed on the mountain, fulfilling
what was begun in the River
when out of the water he rose
and the Spirit fell upon him
now, in brilliance
the law, the prophets
fulfilled, revealed, in communion
up on the mountain
the light shone in him
in preparation
for the final journey
