Constellations of Light – v2

A way to understand them
each a separate star
in the sky, a thread
in the tapestry, the pattern,
the gifts I feel called to share
a constellation of light, me
my earthly journey, each one

At the center my faith in Him
my relationship with God
but all the rest
part of who I am
who I am meant to be

Not one single path
messier than this
grays, colors, blending
bleeding into one another
a more complicated hue

All of these needed for the picture
the gifts all needed, together
the whole of the tableaus
the threads of the tapestry, all necessary
that there wouldn’t be a missing piece
together alone the whole of me
as God intended from the start

Constellations of Light
on the multi-faceted roles,
personae that I have,
as poet, attorney, Christian,
husband, son, father, neighbor,
friend, etc.
