Where Has the Light of Life Gone Life's Light Dims
Where has the light of life gone ?
LIFE'S LIGHT DIMS
______________
Suddenly I begin to see you in light, as shodow.
Once, Full Moon, Twinkling Stars, in the depths of night,
Sun, radiantly, upon my life bestowing it's healing light.
Understanding - you be Will O The Wisp - in my sight,
yet, realizing my perceptions may not be right.
You, I have touched, felt, been deep inside, you I know.
You, a beautiful woman, these days eluding me.
Me, it seems, you want not, not want to see
as before, when all was new and set free.
A time when you could let it be.
Now, I feel as though I have become the light of shadow
fading into the dregs of darkness, of loss.
Why is it I can not find you ?, the you I knew,
thought I knew when all was bright and new.
