Sunlit Clouds

They were but clouds, layers of clouds

Piled high above the earth.
The mountain, shrouded in their mists,
Awaited the day’s birth.
 
Then the fierce sun burst from the dark
And fringed the clouds with light,
Turning the mountains robes to shades
Of heavenly delight.
 
I felt my voice leap in my throat,
His praises filled my heart.
How can I not rejoice today
With such a splendid start.  
 
Philippians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
