Night
(dedicated to Kate)
In the darkness of the night,
You are my only light,
You lead me through the gloom,
You help me avoid the doom.
I hasten to touch your soul,
But I cannot reach you now,
Your body does in grass lay,
I feel your soul slipping away.
It is some dark foresight,
I hope it won’t be right.
In my soul is the gloom,
As where flowers never bloom.
As I near you I slow down,
From the pain I nearly faint,
Some heavy burden lays on me,
What terrible thing can it be?
My soul in darkness cried,
My life has almost died.
Evil in me was killed,
And my heart peace filled.
When first ray I reached,
My hope was nearly dead.
Have you the love for me?
It will save my world maybe.
