Bernadette Langer Poet Rhyme

Into the Light (Pantoum)

With tears upon my aging cheek 
My trust in the world so leery
Answers I do search and seek 
But I feel so weak and weary 

My trust in the world so leery 
For so much horror I have seen 
But I feel so weak and weary 
My spirit lost in the in-between

For so much horror I have seen 
Sadness unfurled upon the land 
My spirit lost in the in-between 
Goodness only small pebbles of sand

Sadness unfurled upon the land
I call upon the Lord above 
Goodness only small pebbles of sand
To touch these grains with his pure love 

I call upon the Lord above 
My spirit reaching from deep inside 
To touch these grains with his pure love 
Across the heavens, the great divide

My spirit reaching from deep inside
To touch and feel his wondrous light
Across the heavens, the great divide 
Guiding me through this world of night 

To touch and feel his wondrous light 
My spirit grows steadily and soars 
Guiding me through this world of night 
My soul replenished and now restored 

My spirit grows steadily and soars
Answers I do search and seek
My soul replenished and now restored  
With tears upon my aging cheek
