The Importance
The White LightTo be lost in the bright
A sudden burst of white
Fading, glory revealing ---
Dawning shafts of Heaven
Through leaves overhead descend
Flowers, fruits and ripe clearings
The flutter of feathered wings
Dandelions away in the wind
A heath, a blooming garden
Secret, locked away in my heart
A whisper: "The key is in the Light"
Out of a door in a picture
A cottage over the meadows
Where the rainbow ever grows
Somewhere only the birds know
And where the bees make sweet dreams
To be lost in the bright
A sudden burst of white
And the morning caught me,
Carried me away in the wind
In the softness of a lullaby
The blissful sleep of a baby
Blossoms crowning her golden tresses
Bare feet dancing beneath a lily dress
A singing flute upon her girlish lips
The sound of felicity
Flowing like a river
Rising into the high sky
To be lost in the bright
A sudden burst of white
A hum, hmm-mm, of leaves of memory
Twirling, dancing brown on a breeze
The smile of a friend, brother, sister
The radiant face of a lover
An aging Mother's coughing wheeze
My heart is asunder
To be lost in the bright
A sudden burst of white
And I am cast away, far, faraway
In the glint of sword steel
Come hither to my eyes, under sunshine light.
