Oh radiant light that shines in the gray

I wonder what brought you here

I wonder how long you’ll stay

For me to embrace your softness…your comfort

I’m inspired to move my conscience to a far away paradise

I’m inspired to get lost in this sweet, sweet tranquility

Don’t leave me, my sweet lullaby, my precious symphony

That plays so softy, so gently

Yet moves my very being

It shakes me to the core

But so gracefully, so tenderly

It washes my torment away

When I get lost in you

When I lose myself to your innocence,

Even though your presence may be oh so brief

I will wait for you, in my chaos that abides with me

It consumes me

But I wait, so eagerly

For you to bless me again

With your gracious, merciful blanket of escape

Even though I will be gifted with you so briefly, so unexpectedly

My fear in this is only

That I should be off in another land

But one not so sweet, but despairing

In my slumber, that would steal you from my grasp

And wake to see only the gift you’ve left behind

It is barely a fragment of your presence

I mourn, for I lost my chance to embrace you

But find comfort in knowing that you will visit me again

My temporary escape, yet so innocent, so pure

I will wait for you in my madness

Finding some comfort, waiting for you to appear

And wash away my tears

To wash away my isolated soul

Oh sweet lullaby, you save me

You never seize to surprise me

In how much I need you

In how much I crave your innocence

No matter how dark my soul becomes

Or how long you hide away

Until you seek to so fearlessly embrace me,

My fear is this,

That I may be far away

When you appear so graciously

That my mind is off in a horrid place

And I wake

To the fraction of your gift

Like teardrops scattered all around

For you sang to me

You offered your escape, your peace

But I was nowhere to be found

A mysterious love indeed

You go and then you leave

Thank you for your kindness

Thank you for your freedom

You cannot stay…It’s not your fault

I tried to hold you…I cannot

You have many loves

Yet it’s innocent and pure

You’re adored

You’re our freedom

Thank you… for your little escapes

Thank you… for comforting my broken soul

You, abundantly, wash over my broken soul

Bitter, broken spirit full of hate

You tell me that love is a mistake

That to love again is a heartbreak

Listen, love, before it’s too late

I know I’m someone who can relate

Many have left me in a poor state

Using their lies as a form of bait

Because loving people is no weight

Well, not to me, even to this date

To love or hate, I have no debate

Now I see you questioning my state

Love can be easy to complicate

It’s not something we anticipate

People use it to manipulate

But that’s not love they communicate

Love is something you can’t replicate

Love gives hope and never devastates

My intent is not to nauseate

Neither do I mean to aggravate

It’s love I’m trying to demonstrate

You have let your hate accumulate

You have love that you can radiate

Please step out of the past for your sake

I cannot bear this to be your fate

Pain from choosing to love can be great

My words may make your anger
inflate

Hate can easily infuriate

But know that it also suffocates
