Oh, sweet,

This simple gift.

How it cleanses the heart,

Even if only for a moment.

How it washes away the shadows,

To reveal the light,

That once was.

Even if only for a time.

My sweet laughter,

The melodies of the soul,

Why is it,

You visit me

No more?

Why have you forsaken,

A soul lost,

To the sea,

Of the dark?

Why have you,

Left me to suffer,

Alone?

I need you,

Oh, how I do.

To open my eyes,

That have been clouded.

And reveal the light,

Once more,

To chase away the clouds,

Of a castaway soul.
