Until the Dusk Is Here
I am... alone here
I am... grieved
Where did you go?
When light and darkness wed
Here, their heroic bouquet
Tossed far away
Won't someone come take me away?
This is nothingness, there is no here
No lilies grow in the dark, our bouquet
Is scrap iron and disappointed, grieved
Glances toward the pain and joy, wed
Take me away! {where will I go?}
Isolation: my desire to flee and go
Thing I fear not to go away
Happy jitters true fear when I wed
Myself to the starless smog here
Captive by enthused and now grieved
Here I bury the bones of my bouquet
Falling away from my gentle bouquet
Longing to fly, to flee, to go
Hoping to remedy the grieved
Wishing I didn't need to run away
Grieving for a time I wasn't here
Singing toward the day we'll wed
Today, grace and truth are wed
The Bridegroom hands me the bouquet
-I realize now how dark it is here
How silent - we go
Out of the net, far and away
My heart is star, not grieved
In the distance, thou art grieved
For those you see to bones and darkness wed
But we are not so far away
We shall together resurrect our bouquet
In light, we shall skip and sing and go
Until the dusk is here
You and I shall go see the grieved
We shall wed so far away
Toss to the sunset our broken bouquet until the dusk is here
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
