The Heart of Light

Life’s path is hard
This I know
Not long I have walked it
Yet much have faced
And sorrow felt
Like a moonless night.
Yet ever light
Has called me on
Its glory bright
And warmth needed
When I was cold
And day was gone.
Light is the glint
Of profound joy
It is the form
Of lasting love
It is an echo
Of vibrant life.
Yet little enough
Is in this walk
The sunlight will flee
The stars falter
Ashamed of the night
That they are in.
So too does my heart
Grieved by the darkness
Bound about it
Wishing to go
Where the sun goes
When it is sorrowful.
How my heart yearns
For that lasting joy
I weep within
When I think of it
But the lights around me
Only weep as well.
The day must come
I will find the source
Of all light
The great Flame burning
Above all night
And there will I stay.
