Shrouds of Light

Come out of the black hole… Lie face down on the bed…I’ve been bedshaped all night long Heaviness of my eyelids takes it toll on me Fly…fly with your top speed…keep your head Above the surface and take a sip of ecstasy You’re my only hope You’re my answers to my countless prayers Please don’t mope… Shrouds of light will polish you with no errors I wish people wouldn’t judge you by first appearance What if they were in your shoes – they wouldn’t be engorged in ignorance Oh, stop pushing my buttons, you bothersome fly Oh, stop harassing me…about how I look or how I feel It’s not a big deal…so chill out! It’s no big deal! Things are out of my control So, stop acting like a fool… Pieces upon pieces of your heart Collapse on the cold, cold cobblestone Mellow down – you’re on a good start Run that race with victory close at hand – until you score First place! That would make me cheer more and more Shrouds of light sparkle in your aqua-blue eyes I see your eye’s reflection like a mirror, replicating my own Heal me, Lord – heal my infection or I’ll remain all alone You’re my only hope You’re my answers to my countless prayers **Chorus** Don’t desert me, I beg! Be decent tonight I’m like a boss…is this event gonna cost? $ Money has to be in the conversation $ - it’s just not right Tonight on this splendid night, I want a Shirley temple With 7 cherries on the top – my lucky number fits the occasion We all have issues to solve one way or another…it isn't easy! You’re my only hope You’re my answers to my countless prayers **Chorus** I enjoyed every moment of our evening…we are fine pairs like two dolphins, jumping playfully like waves in the reckless ocean “Don’t let your voice go to waste” – one person said to me a while ago I’m amazed by your many compliments, aiming at me in a friendly approach I’m not throwing any fit – I feel that love surrounds me from all angles The moon attracts my eyesight…you glisten in the murky night I always have a great time…with you swinging on by Give me your fortifying love and I’ll have the attitude of gratitude for as long as I live You’re my only hope You’re my answers to my countless prayers **Chorus** You're my spine that keeps me upright You awaken the courage and positivity that I couldn't find alone Thank you, God, for your divine flight! Reveal to me your shrouds of light, Filling my cup to the brim… I sip the sweet nectar of delight His light of insight will never dim His prudence will uplift her and him!

Felt like the night I was praying to hard and all the lights were out except the flickering light of the black candle I lit.
