Away from the dark...

It's been some time since I last posted here. I haven't forgotten it but rather have been feeling a little uninspired. For some reason that changed last night.

I was reading, with Radiohead playing in the background, and had the inspiration to write this. I'm still trying to understand exactly what it means but I really wanted to share it with everyone. Perhaps it's a self-portrait... perhaps not...

Away from the dark...

I've seen the light shining
From within the darkness
Rising from the shadows
The spark of brilliance
Always there

Now with love to draw it up
Away from darkness
Leaving the shadows behind
The fire burns bright
If you could but see

Yes still hesitation remains
The of the lure of the dark seduces
No! No more darkness
The flame reaches higher
For all to see

At last the step is taken
Into the light… to life
The darkness banished
Now the chance to share
The fire with all… in love

The final step beckons
A chance to give the greatest gift
Reach back… into the dark
Take the hand of another
Who needs a spark
