Far Away

Far away 
In the blackness of the night 
A burning light 
Across the bay 

The light danced upon the water 
Piercing the night 
Piercing glare 
Shimmered in the cold air 

Far away 
The light found me 
Amidst the night 
Bound me tight, 
until the day 

A burning light 
I felt its' warmth on me 
Amidst the night 
On the sea 

Far away 
It could have been me 
A burning light 
On the sea 

Far away 
On the burning sea 
A burning light 
That is me
