In the deep dark night
There isn't a single light
The clouds start caving in
Like they had never been
The next thing was a miracle
It seemed so magical
A shaft of light
Struck through the thick clouds with all its might
It filled the dark night
With light so bright
The bitter darkness
Was finally overcome with brightness

She's in quite deep with out a doubt, a very cramped space to pull her out. She slipped into a loneliness well, a cold sad place for one to dwell. There were times when she was reaching out but no one heard her pained shout. She couldn't recall days of glory, stayed focused in her sad life story. It's oh so dark with a constant draft, deep inside her mind's shaft.
The overcast sky, the drizzling rain,
the weather dictates my mood again.
Grey and black clouds block the sun.
A dismal morning has begun.
A break in the gloom is what we need
as through the clouds a shaft of light bleeds.
One small ray brings a lift to the heart.
I hold my breath ... and watch the clouds part.

Erie sounds cry from the blackness of night
Dark clouds casting shadows over tonight's moonlight
Stumbling down an unfamiliar path I wind
Among obstacles challenging both body and mind
A wrong path taken, will I find home?
Or spend a night among nothingness alone
Then in the distance I see a single shaft of light
A candle in the window, everything's all right!

It was a dark and lonely night
Suddenly there came a shaft of light
My heart was jumping out of my skin
While trying to keep all fears within
I became silent, my legs became stiff
I felt like I was pushed of a cliff
Then suddenly I saw a strange ship
I got so frightened that I bit my lip
It came and disappeared
Then again it reappeared
Is it aliens or just a dream?
Maybe some things aren’t what they seem

The sky is black like the night No moon no stars no guiding light The wind
is screaming Holding back the sun`s beaming The clouds are sobbing tears
from the sky Eyes look to the heavens asking the question why Suddenly a
shaft of light blinding all that see Clearing the blackness of a world of what
could be A ray of sunshine now envelops the land Telling all being alive is
simply grand
Black clouds ever surrounding me
But look, a bright ray of light I see
From where does this light appear
Has it come from far or from near
A million thoughts enter my mind
A sign from above, that I’m behind
Quick explanations though, never pass
Nor do a thousand, I have grown crass
About this shaft of light what can be told
I don’t know now, maybe when I am old
Desire to know, imbedded since our youth
Philosophy teaches there really is no truth
