Into the Light of Day

Warm bearing from the sacred womb, into the light of day, With loving arms and eyes that shone and soothing words to say, Her gift of breath and heartbeats and the means to carry on Through storms in saturation when most faith and hope were gone. Now sadness stalks the atmosphere and dogs each waking hour With grief enshrined in empty rooms pervades the ivory tower, In clearing up the memories, examined one by one, I cannot help but dwell on her and all she might have done. Nothing seems to be enough and nothing will appease, No language eloquent enough to shape her eulogies, For all she meant to me goes way beyond the written word, Inscriptions on my inner soul forever cry unheard. Despite nocturnal fall that seeks to claim her for it's own, The dawn will crack in hopeful shades and find me not alone, For such as she will still remain and never fade away, And I will take her with me now, into the light of day
