Rwhen your flame is oh so bright
it can burn out and not be prolonged
as bright as the brilliance of a new dawn
yes even the sun can only shine for so long
before it slips round the edge
and nighttime comes


so we are given day and night
dark and light
to spin us round in the dance of life
and between dreams and waking we are born


and in the turning of the wheel
some wisdom comes
and dark and light merge as one
and we see miracles so beautifully surreal


a subtle calling of what’s real
is heard by us and speaks
in messages the soul can feel
and in a breath we understand and forgive
and our heart is healed


and yes, our guardian angel always stands by
til our bridge to God is discovered
and we remember to look inside
and we turn around again to find
the reasons we are alive
right here and now in this space and time


so light the fire of the great unknown
and when you are weary
pray to God his mysteries to show
that eternal spark of the soul
to carry the torch on the pathway home
