The Light

I am lost to a dark and forsaken land where a grim and uncertain fate stalks me mercilessly in the endless night, and I am all but left abandoned; destined to perish by its savage jaws! When suddenly, as if from heaven I see you glowing brightly as a comforting light in the upper window of a secluded house in the distance, and you call to me; urging my continuation through the relentless danger and bravely on towards a resting sanctuary.

I am caught within a roaring ocean as fierce storms build colossal waves that threaten to crush me beneath their cruel and raging fury! Exhausted... Defeated... My head barely above the water, I sense nothing but my own inescapable demise. When unexpectedly out of the emptiness a burning vision of you emerges from out of the gloom, like a lighthouse cutting through the torrential rain guiding me home to a safe and solid ground.

I am concealed beneath the shade of a dense forest, where high above me the creeping branches spread like miserly hands to suppress the Sun lights touch, and I resign myself to remain forever in their shadow. But as I hope and pray in the enduring silence, your presence soon honors me and swiftly dispels the penumbra like shards of light piercing through the cracks in the shroud warming my heart with their embrace.

For you will always be the brightest light in my life, illuminating my most darkest evenings
with a love beyond limit, a care without question and coloring my most dreariest mornings with an inspiring inner beauty that's beyond rival or equal. I know in my heart that even if my days grow sombre and even should I become lost upon my troubled journey, you're shining grace will always reach out to me, call to me, leading me back home into your arms.
