Neither Light Nor Dark But You

In the sudden glow of fortune

the half light of discontent

the darkened shades of mourning

and starlight of lone laments

in the burning forgotten embers

of loving words now spent

and the blazing flames of glory

when we were what we present

in the flickering glow of quiet times

where silence gave us life

and the burning sear of flaming flesh

where redemption drowned in strife

in minor sparks

of minor words

that made each day alive

and the dying blaze

of ending days

that concluded our bright life

in all these lights and shadows long

I knew what I would see

your loving hand

reached out to me

my endless certainty
