You came now
I know not why
while my days are confused
my nights tortured
and my heart seeks hope
and refuge.
On these days coming
the wind will whip,
storms will rage,
and I know I will fear.
but I can feel and know
you are there
under the same sky
the same stars.
I can look to the sun by day
the moon by night
and feel you touch me
in my misery
comforting my soul.
I know that it WILL be
just as it is tonight
in my dark hours;
Where you are
the sun has risen
the world hasnt ended,
and I feel hope
for my morning to dawn
I can know the light will come
after the dark
and arrive here as well.
I see him already
waving sadly from the other side
of the glass
dividing our lives
water droplets like rain
trickling down like our tears
as I turn away
The pain is too much
I must bury the past.
My life must thrive
and will.
The sun will rise here
as it has there
and the crow who came tonight
will pull away
the cloak of darkness
that is the night of my life,
and will allow the light to filter in
for us to bask in the present
neverendingly.
