Last Night

O luminous orb I wonder that you are called the lesser light,

As I shared your company last night.

You wakened me with brightness that fell upon my face

In one sharp line, slipping past the window shade.

And since you had my attention,

I sought to give you more,

As I walked through the shadows and opened the nearest door.

Gazing at your bold beauty and praising the Creator

I thought, “You might be called the lesser,

But tonight you are the greater”.
