Where are the Lights?

Where are the lights?

Stolen moment

Song leads wet hands to a pen

Cry for peace

life, light and truth

The whirlpool to Christmas is a frightful

short time remaining,

Tasks, trials leave me failing

I fail

So much

Leaves so little

And those about whom I care so much,

get nothing, or worse

Where are you?

Ragged mind

knows not to stop

Where are you?

I cry for peace,

for the blessing of those

about whom I care so much

In stillness

Where are you?

Stillness and light,

give me eyes to see.

How will it happen?
What will it bring?

It must be sweet
But can we make it?

Turn my heart

to quiet boldness

Get some sleep, get it done
Do it now, time is short.

The day is coming, today has passed
What to do? Get it now.

Give me eyes to see

only love

And leave those things

to care for themselves

Sweet peace,

When I find it

Will bring me to you

Nectar, sweetness, let me give

Let things fall away

Sweet smiles stop to say.

Hearts coming our way

Tangent
