The Epiphany In the Night
Oh, terrible night
You’ve brought with you such dark horrors
of one that’s passed me by,
and now roams around the corridors
of my mind in sleep
and even when I’m awake
Oh, terrible night
How can I forget when her name was on the door plaque?
Oh, horrible night
You’ve taught me how to leave my love
and shed real tears on her passing away
Though whenever I see the dove
that silently coos thru the night
I know she is there
Oh, horrible night
How can I not need her when I miss her care?
Oh, stormy night
You’ve brought such sweet despair
that I can’t regret the starry sky
The worst thing I can’t compare
getting over her not being there
I can feel it in my mind
Oh, stormy night
How can I not love her guiding hand?
Oh, quiet night
I can feel her in my heart
Her smiling face gentle and serene
getting ready to depart
I’m afraid she won’t me mine,
as I’m not hers anymore
Oh, quiet night
How do I control these musings crowding evermore?
Oh, humble night
You’ve made me realise her worth,
her true place beside Him
blooming under his divine mirth
She is at rest and happy,
my very own guiding star
Oh, humble night
Do you think it’s she shining that far?
Dedicated to the memory of my Grandmother
