Tonight I Met the Light

Tonight I met the light
Unrelenting, persistent did it burn
It's brilliance flushed crimson my pallid face
Suffusing virility into a barren labyrinth
Blazing through the succulent twilight
Conceiving essence, force, potency amidst sterility

Tonight I met the light
It's warmth dancing on a head of curls
Sweet, honeyed phosphorescence
Twinkling in a pair of virginal eyes
A sailing kite, string held fast in that little hand
With a will to set free when the time is right

Tonight I met the light
Purging the midnight of its blackness
Illumined crescent dripping Grace from its hem
Every scar immersed in the deluge
Transposing markings on a page into a chorus
Soul unleashed to live but fettered to love
