Bright, filling up the night
No clouds obstructing the light
No colors taking away
By the blueness of the day
Slowly charting across the sky
The moon rises to an apex
In glimmering, majestic height
Offering the only way
These shadows that surround
Which once I feared to walk through,
Or to leave their midst
Rather to drown, comforted in death
Even a bit of light fills my emptiness
Wiping away the dark
Just as a fire started by a single spark
Drives off the cold
ii
So, I must leave my soul to seek you
Push my thoughts aside
As I embrace the divine
I become complete
When I abandon all belief
When I allow compassion to be my guide
The golden rule will shine
And my enemy is my own reflection
Yet, I am not wise enough to leave
My vision is not strong enough
I cannot see to follow
But if we join together
When we walk together, we both become better
So if I fall or you stumble
Our hands would hold fast
In good times, in bad
Not clutching the past
Until the last
iii
For my entire life, I was outside
Yet still stuck inside my mind
Ego, cynical, a black hole
Waiting to be filled with earth
In the grave since birth
Always using clever words to hurt
One with the dark
Hiding from the blinding sun
Closing my eyes
Silver moon, your rays are softer
Less harsh than those of day
Your gentle shafts shimmer
To brush away these shades
Opening up my sight
You have shown me your beauty and your light
Wherein the sharp sadness was stealing
Whilst revealing I existed as just a specter
A spectator who floated about
Without the touch of your purest love
My heart is no longer broken
I let it go and you healed
Thank you, God, for giving me a chance
Real at last, I am no longer a ghost
Finally, I can feel
Bright, filling up the night
No clouds obstructing the light
No colors taking away
By the blueness of the day
Slowly charting across the sky
The moon rises to an apex
In glimmering, majestic height
Offering the only way
These shadows that surround
Which once I feared to walk through,
Or to leave their midst
Rather to drown, comforted in death
Even a bit of light fills my emptiness
Wiping away the dark
Just as a fire started by a single spark
