Charlie Smith Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

 

To the music of The Music Of the Night from Phantom Of The Opera

 

Mystery of the Light

Moon light harkens,
     Seeking new dimensions...
     Stardust glistens, while
     Unmasking true intentions...
     Awakening emotions,
     Inspiring deep devotion...
     Lightly, proudly,
     Love unveils its pleasure...
     Embrace it, taste it,
     Measuring such treasure...
     Cast your pains away
     With clear voice that greats the day,
     Kneel and humbly pray,
     Raise the curtain of the night
     And walk into the mystery of the light...
     Lift your head
     And walk away from
     Shrouded fears...
     Turn aside
     Of the life 
     You've lived before...
     In your heart
     Seek one thought 
     Of evermore...
     And you'll know
     Him as you've never
     Known before...
     Warmly, lightly,
     The brightness will astound you...
     Sense it, hear it
     Wrap its arms around you...
     Let your faith be shown-
     From the brightness that-
     You know will lead to sight...
     Forever walking with
     The mystery of the light...

CayCay Godwin November 27, 2016 at 12:21 PM I have read many phantom entries this day and this is one of the few I heard sung in my head. The cadence of Phantom of the Opera is there, but doesn't dominate or alienate, but blends with other lines in song that rocks that opera, Charlie. I say, WOW and that I had a great time reading your entry ... CayCay Charlie Smith November 27, 2016 at 8:03 PM Thanks for your kind note CayCay, I appreciate your visit...
