The Transfiguration of our Lord Mark 9:2-9

In the Joy filled intensity of our excitement
We look up
And catch a glimpse of
      something unseen
  (This)
beyond the realm of all we know
  and feel
    and hear
beyond the encounter of those special moments in life
when every part of our existence
      is focused
on the here and now
and for a brief moment
    all is just right
beyond even the pureness of joy
that comes in the perfection of religious expression
  amid the rising voices
    and the spine tingling timelessness
  (is)
came this almost moment in time
rising from the mist
  of exhausted ecstasy
    on a high mountain top
  (My)
apart
  from the world
    seething in hunger and pain
  longing to see that to which they have turned
    a blind eye
here
  in this almost place and time
comes the light
  (Son)
that can burn through even the blindness
    of not looking
  or looking too hard
with our eyes focused on that unseen moment
that we almost notice
here at this time
the Son of God leads us down
      into
          the world around us
to see the glory of God
in the poor and lost around us
to see the pureness of unbounded timelessness
in the moment of love expressed
to one who knows not love
to see
  by not trying to see that faint glimmer
                                                  off high
                                         in the distant mist
  (Listen to Him!)
Christ
  in those around us
