Faint Light

Deep within the night I search for a light Above my weary eyes, a star Who's light lies not too far Yet as I tread the globe Darkness guards its trove Only ever to see Apart we will ever be "Oh that I could touch Oh to feel your heat Though space and life apart You called me off my feet If light was always near I would not know this shining tear Had never been a break from day Forever we would be away As absence makes the heart grow fond I will wait for light beyond While I wish that you could stay You are just a light on the way I grasped for you within my tears And for a time, gone were my fears But any light apart from day Will go at last and fall away Yet still I grasp for light in dark I cannot stand to be apart Faint light to me as bright My eyes did not adjust A darkened sky, you heard my cry I came to you with trust You did not stay, you could not stay You knew the sun must rise I found heat in your heart beat Kindness in your eyes" Oh moon, you found me here Upon my cheek a tear I needed you the most You seemed as a ghost You set behind a cloud My eyes from light was shroud I could not see your face So I sought another place Now you come out Oh how I did doubt Even in the dead of night A mirror of you exists Through night and day you light Yet in the filed of stars I have missed "Oh starry starry cloak Before my eyes as smoke A beauty to behold But in time grow cold" Although you may light my ride The sun will be my guide A horse by day, a swan by eve You've taught my heart to believe Through light and dark you understand But sparkling skies seemed so grand "A diamond within space I sought your pretty face But where was I to go? Where you go I cannot follow Yet beauty still here lies I seek you in the skies But I must leave soon The heavens awaken noon"
