My Light, My Saviour 

Camouflaged against the darkness,

I am shrouded,

Shied away from existence

 

Enclosed in the deafening silence,

Absorbing the nothingness,

I am alone

 

Tears are no longer shed,

Cries are unheard,

No one cares

 

Like a bird without wings,

Despondent I sit and wait without hope,

Imprisoned within the shadow I cast

 

Rising above the horizon,

Trapping the black fingers of night,

You emerge

 

Beaming down upon me,

Bestowing radiance,

The darkness melts in your warmth

 

Your rays caress my face,

Replenishing hope believed forever lost,

A smile breaks through

 

Throwing off my shadows,

Growing back my wings,

I fly to your embrace where the sun lies till the end of time
