That Which Defines Me
As day departs, and light retreats,
echoes of night beseech thee...
to rest thine soul, drift away from sight,
to find hidden dreams within me.
The sky so dark, twinkling stars so bright,
illuminating paths before thee...
flowing rain in streams, winding through old trees,
to find hidden life within me.
Screams of plight, drown out silent night,
clawing at tranquility that soothes thee...
to erase thoughts of love, streaming down from above,
to betray healing hands that guide me.
With night-time so cruel, heavy heart seeks renewal,
guiding light, shining bright before thee...
to wash away pain, instill hope once again,
to unveil all that fails to define me.
