Analysis of The light is cast



The light is cast
Into a vast darkness
Of stars and a view
Of a moon and sun above
As clouds and sky
Pass by into the night
And what appears in spheres
Is a plane and a landscape
That is colored with people
Of every face in a day and place
With children greeted
By a father of celestial
Origins and birth
Without mother or family
Or brothers or sisters
Sustained in a glistening light
That illuminates the night
As a world unknown
Comes down upon the grounds
Of a world lost and found
Which only knows those
Who hear without fear
Of one who will come
And cast the light
