Illumination {poetry for lent}

Malinda is a Creative Writing student at Taylor.  What I love about this brief poem is its simplicity, its powerful image, and the way it makes me wonder.  What does it mean to really see someone?  And how do we help each other see more clearly?



Illumination
by Malinda Patterson

It was dark.
But then she struck a match.
And while it burned,
there was just enough light
to see the other’s face.
