AT LAST NOW I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT

“The truth is in the light I bring

the truth is in the songs I sing

yet in the stillness of this day

I will paint with shades of grey

and save bright colours for the night

to wrench from darkness our solemn plight.” - AP

 

“I live and love in God's peculiar light.”

NO MORE THE FOOL – ELKIE BROOKS

 

This “poem” is actually a song I wrote this morning.

One day when I perfect the tune, I may sing it to you …

 

My foolish heart can't take no more

I cry at night; my feelings hit the floor

and in the darkness I think of you

and my heart tears a little more for you're not true

 

The shadows grow and darken deep inside of me

it's hard to see the light until my heart breaks free

I know I've got to let you go

but it is hard to do the right thing, you should know

 

At last I fall asleep and dream

but fitfully in grey and cream

there is no room for black and white

for the little grey areas become more prominent at night

 

When I wake up to greet the dawn

I hear the peacocks cry mournfully on the lawn

the sun shines in and warms my face

there's no room for sadness; gladness takes it's place

 

I have survived another night

I have come through another self-inflicted fight

now it is clear; the veil falls free

my eyes are open wide to meet the change in me

 

I rise up high above the clouds

I shout your name and then goodbye so loud

you must hear me; let me fly free

for my wings can never be clipped; so let me be

 

For every fading memory and written word

I see before me flying free a fragile bird

it's wing-ed bones like angel's wings alight

the sun's warm rays; transparency in flight

 

For every spoken word of love a flower grows

and tilts it's face to Heaven like it knows

that lightness of our beings feed upon

the caress and the love we find beyond

 

I stand in tranquil silence to face the day

my hand moves up to wipe the tears away

and then I find I'm ready for this moment

that supersedes the past and all the torment.
