Light

She beckons,
I follow

into the wilderness,
of hopes and dreams...
of untold joys

Into a mystery
that i fear to unravel
oh! the excitement is too much

she waits floating
like a goddess
a lustre of gold and silver

she looks resplendent in her robes
a beacon in the darkness
spreading a light

The darkness is thick
she cleaves through it
i follow blindly
trying to catch up

She flits
from a branch to another
a bush to another
silvery tinkling laugh
making light of the dark

I wonder where from comes the light
as I still grope
and plod through the night

i feel distressed
feel the darkness closing in on me
a despair sets in

My angel,
she looks at me
smiles
and makes light
