your light
The sun breaks on the hills
As it breaks inside my mind
When I see the sparkling dance
Of your heart’s diamond mine.
And the presence of that shaft
Of rainbow dancing light
Spills inside the boundaries
Of the shadows of my night.
And your eyes bend the brilliance
Of the passions of the sun
To the colors of the start
Of where we both came from.
It’s your light that lights my day
And your day that lights my light.
It’s your gift of fire
That extinguishes my night.
And the drop of moisture
That glistens on your lip
That you put there with your tongue
Taking an absent-minded trip.
And your pool of ice blue water
Where I go to be saved
When screams mark out light’s boundary
At the edge of a grave.
And the shimmer of hope’s fountain
That you offer with your hand
And light with your kindness
That is my Promised Land.
And your whisper of a hue
That has no color or no name
Of a hue that I can’t catch
But you give me all the same.
It’s your light that lights my day
And your day that lights my light.
It’s your gift of fire
That extinguishes my night.
