Light and Love

LIGHT AND LOVE You covered your mourning face with a black veil. They say that you are sad, so sad that the birds no longer sing next to the window where we used to dream of freedom which was so vividly reflected in the eyes of the birds who found their little home in the buds of your wild roses. Forgive me, my dear, for not being with You now. I know that your mourning veil is weaved from sorrow and watered by salty tears. My golden one, don't give our love slip away into night's embrace, throw away your mourning veil into the night's embrace, let a glowing star from the sky shine on our love, because light cannot be against love, light must be for love, because it doesn't harden hearts, but soften them; Because it does not battle like darkness, but comes into hearts like a dove. © 2010 Walter William Safar
