The Sun

The Sun

And when the white coat nods
That all is done
The very place that life begun
Then flickers turn to rising mist
And light is dimmed to never burn here again

All around the darkness does embrace
When solemn grey
Becomes the mask of stolen smile
And where the candle passed around its warmth
Now cool and still abound

A slight noise
A breath to help you burn
Now silent but for
A teardrop to the ground

You burned more brightly than the sun
And now our darkest days begun
And when we woke
From what we thought a dream

The hammer clattered
On the steel of truth
That you had left
Never for us to speak again

But then the curtains are turned back
And the spring sunshine pours in through
And you our son and you shine free
Fanned by the winds
Of all eternity
