Goodnight, Light

Goodnight, Light

A whisper, a smile
A thought, a prayer

A spark to start a fire
A wind to carry the flame

Spreading, consuming
Devouring.

Scorch the earth
Blaze with fury

Ashen remains
Blackened void.

Passion,
Burning passion
You consumed
You devoured

I am a man burned.
Burned again.

Thrice, sparks ignited.
Thrice, inferno raged.
Thrice, fiery death scourged the land.

Thrice, I have look to the heavens for relief.

Merciful God,
Where hast Thou been?
Why hast Thou withheld the rains?
Did Thy hands not fills the oceans with every drop?
Did Thy hands not fill the earth in judgement?
And part the seas in mercy?
Did Thy Son not calms the seas and walk on the waves?
Why then hast Thou kept even a drop from my tongue?

O' Lord
Where are you in my time of need?
Where is my rescue?

Have I not been faithful in trusting you?
Have I not delivered my concerns to you?

Yet, here I stand alone.

The light you placed with in me,
It sputters.
No tinder remains to keep it lit.
For that was consumed.

What shall I do?
Fall to my knees? Confess some hidden sin?
Read a passage of the Word? Sing a song of praise?

How can I?

I trusted you as I began to entrust my heart to another?
But I have been played the fool. Again.

Again, Again, Again.

Goodnight, Light.
You once were bright
Now you fight,
Fight for life.

Goodnight, Light.
