Into the Light (Pantoum)

With tears upon my aging cheek My trust in the world so leery Answers I do search and seek But I feel so weak and weary My trust in the world so leery For so much horror I have seen But I feel so weak and weary My spirit lost in the in-between For so much horror I have seen Sadness unfurled upon the land My spirit lost in the in-between Goodness only small pebbles of sand Sadness unfurled upon the land I call upon the Lord above Goodness only small pebbles of sand To touch these grains with his pure love I call upon the Lord above My spirit reaching from deep inside To touch these grains with his pure love Across the heavens, the great divide My spirit reaching from deep inside To touch and feel his wondrous light Across the heavens, the great divide Guiding me through this world of night To touch and feel his wondrous light My spirit grows steadily and soars Guiding me through this world of night My soul replenished and now restored My spirit grows steadily and soars Answers I do search and seek My soul replenished and now restored With tears upon my aging cheek
