Light

Black be the name of the night,
It’s stillness beyond refrain,
Torn from the vestiges of light,
All visions cloaked and slain

Unguided, this walk, somewhere,
No journey do these feet make,
Until I see you, you’re there,
O light, through the shadows you break

You catch my eyes, you glint,
Then you look away, there still,
The wind makes you sway,
Like the buds on flowers little,

The buds that now cover you,
Yet not a bit they hide,
You shine through their twines,
To me, you smile with pride

I see you flicker, in the wind,
I see your flame go low,
I see you troubled by the gust,
I see your dimming glow,

Now it’s my turn to look at you,
Now it’s my turn to smile,
Now it’s my turn to cover you,
In my arms for a while.

I’ll will you back to life,
I’ll revive you in starry stones,
Let the fire burn so bright,
O light, you’re never alone

You light up my life so alive,
Its every single waking day,
You cast the shadows of gloom aside,
You banish them far away.

You’re in my heart, throughout,
The flame of eternity ablaze,
And for every second of that perpetuity,
At you these eyes will gaze

The light of my life, be there,
Never dull your beams,
In your light, the way brightens
To the happiness of our dreams
