The Divine Light

Rainbow from an airplane window

"I don't see the light, friend;
I don't see the light.
I have traveled far and near,
but all I see is the night."


"My sympathies, my dear;
but where all did you go?
What light is this you seek?
You must first let me know."

"I went to the village,
I went to the town.
I am looking for the light,
to wipe off my frown.

I have heard of a light,
a light so divine.
it fills the heart with hope
and makes the eyes shine.

Trust me my friend,
Every new day is the worst.
I am looking for the light,
that will quench my thirst."

"Oh my dear beloved!
you must yourself repair.
there is no one but you,
who can cure your despair.

why agitated you seem?
close your eyes and keep calm.
Life's troubles come and go
there exists no magic balm."

"Your words are wise,
but you don't comprehend
This light I seek,
must be found my friend.

Purer than hearts,
and brighter than stars
it shines upon the mind
and erases the scars.

No more shall i writhe,
in pain when I sleep;
or dream about swirling,
in oceans so deep.

Help me my lord,
for I am all alone.
and I have exhausted
all my skin and bone."

"You traveled far and near,
to look for this heavenly light.
ever wonder how could it stay hidden,
if it shines so bright?

The light finds darkness,
everywhere it goes.
it is the one to destroy it,
even if it doesn't know.

You looked far and wide
but never found anything true
now consider this old friend,
could the light be in you?"
