Rhythm of Light

Rhythm of Light
It�s like a rhythm of light in your home
A tear for the tired who wait
A vision of something not quite alone
Mistake upon many mistakes
It�s like the rushing of feeling so right
The song that will keep you awake
Like the dream that you could not recall
An event that has always forsaken you
It�s like the roof that�s in need of repair
And the garden of twilight undone
Like the longing you felt in your greatest despair
And no one to wake you when day has come
Mister caretaker, missus soul-bend
Have you no need for a friend
It�s like clouds on a mountain of rain
Like the truth in a sentence or two
Like finality whispered so plain
The beauty of something that hurts you too
It�s like the last hare-brained scheme you imposed
The nothing that lasted so long
Like the martyr that could not compose in prose
The meltdown that burns up all that�s wrong
Confusion in single line file
Breaks from the center and runs
Lasting impressions on lingering smiles
The beauty of what never comes
