The light is there

Even as a distant flame
It waxes and wanes
Like the Sun and the Moon
It waxes and wanes within and through you
Even light is tidal
It’s flux is so you will know it better
And trust it’s timing
Like you trust the Sun and the Earth to turn.
We are fed by stars
That sing us back to ourselves
That sing
“The light will return!’

The light will return
It’s a matter of time
The time it takes to reel
From the hard knocks, in the dark
Until we feel
That we are already free from them
We just forgot
And in the mid winter of forgetting
we are reborn.
