I dream of that which happiness is made
Summer days and breezes from the sea
Of warming waters which wash me as I wade
In the perfection of your love for me
I long for belonging and a sense of place
As a child wakes at the moment of birth
The secure feeling of seeing your face.
More precious than anything sought on this Earth.
It lay expectantly in the palm of my hand
Glowing at me overjoyed to be there
As together we face this cruel harsh land
What could break this bond that we share?
Stronger than iron more powerful than man
Fearless I face anything with this wonder
We've come so far from where we began
No burden too great, no weight to be under
Until I think about the chance
That I might have to lose
My partner in this dance
The only one to choose…
Me.
My mind fears a future an impossible world
A dark place devoid of joy
My heart ripped and unfurled
What God did I annoy?
To deserve any of this pain?
Haven’t I been punished enough?
To be banished to the rain?
I don't know how to be tough
I search in my mind
I rage against the dying of the light!
Is the God I love so unkind?
To baptize me in enternal night?
I reach for you, my fingers seek
The soft of you, I sense no mark
The light of you, but not a peek
In this despair… I'm alone and afraid in the dark.
