The Light Eternal
Can you ever really lose
what you’ve never really had
Can you ever be good
if you’ve never been bad
Can you ever pose a question
that’s never been asked
Can the answer prove elusive
when the future is past
Can the moments live on frozen
if only in your heart
Can the love you give unspoken
shout the loudest unremarked
Can you ever really finish
what was never yours to start
Can your light shine on eternal
—without passing through the dark
