In the end,
what becomes of us,
we who saw more light
than others,
and still chose to turn
away from the cross?
Shall we
have a second chance
to argue our singular case
about how too much light
often leads to blindness?
For in the end,
the light was never ours to master or deny;
there must be mercy for the fleeing souls
that, fearing what the light revealed,
chose shadows
over being whole.
