Outshined--By Lisa DeVinney--United States

Outshined

It’s nearly dawn

and a slivered almond moon

hangs precariously in

an indigo sky.

With each passing moment,

the horizon brightens –

First to dusty rose,

then a bit of turquoise

blends the day star’s light

into a golden canvas.

And all the while,

the wisp of a moon

continues its fade

into daylight,

outshined by the sun.

As am I.

“He must become greater;

I must become less.”

John 3:30 NIV
