Deceiving Light

Often we feel
joyfully, gladly
Something we have
received
But soon discover
gloomily
Our heart has been
deceived

An unknown loving
light
Appears in the
composed soul
Steals away the
bright
Smashing the world
whole

The days become
thirsty
The nights are all
restless
The thoughts be
empty
With the fruitless
clash

We wish for the hope
star
Gaping into the dark
night
A handicap stretches
afar
With broken, wounded
might
