Emerging From the Shadows
Emerging from the Shadows
We have wrapped ourselves in the warmth of the open hearth
As darkness has fallen like a curtain over a sky
Filled with brilliantly shining stars--
Shadows of trees silhouette against the half-light
As we mourn the loss of our loved one;
Life does go on--
Painful memories shake themselves loose,
A moment comes when the door opens
And the future comes strolling in;
We have learnt to harmonize ourselves
With the rhythm of life--
Slowly we have awakened
From a darkness long untouched by sleep;
It is time to emerge from the shadows--
Realizing we are never again
To while away the hours with you,
So we have shut the door properly upon the past.
