Is it the moon
In lunatic phase
Or perfect genetics within
That forces your hand
And tells you to tear
All that covers your skin
As life asks your heart
To keep looking far
Your feet will soon learn to keep pace
You’re promised, my love
All that shines above
Forever will seek your raised face
Should shadows stop you
Tear down the looming dark door
Let light lead you forth
Reach out
Despite the dark
And please take the hand
That
Despite the dark
Reaches out
To you
Tho’ first I’d declined
I saw the light peeking through
So sprang to my feet
The Sun has spoken
“I will not do this for naught
Rise with me people”
Oh-so-shady shadow
A silken slip can cast thee
Into dark depths first
When once emerged light clings gently
Insisting on Sun
Through the thick collage of clouds
Our hearts now alight
I pretend
My friend
Is the light source
Streaking eastward
Just before dusk
Hoping to grab
My hand
And bring me along
Into tomorrow
more chairs
more tables
more clothing
more shoes
more food
more comfort
more toys
more shine
more warmth
more light
than I will ever, ever, need
watch as I walk through the door
At all hours
I seek the horizon
I was fated for
I touch the light lingering there
But what is this
The pause before you burst forth
Or the looking back
On your way to tomorrow
And my name is tonight
