Love's Bright Light

darkly drums the dreary heart   alone
though wise deny darkness to know day
love’s bright light   as though no night   is shone
 
young   while born with love — love must be known
touch gentle with love’s hand — don’t betray
darkly drums the dreary heart   alone
 
old   like poems   fine metaphors in tone
their love   just dust or a spring bouquet
love’s bright light   as though no night   is shone
 
rich show love — for love — or to atone
wealth can’t buy true love — or so   they say
darkly drums the dreary heart   alone
 
poor give love — for love — it’s all they own
love returned is more than they convey
love’s bright light   as though no night   is shone
 
lost is life spent chasing a gravestone
love enlightens life and paints the way
darkly drums the dreary heart   alone
love’s bright light   as though no night   is shone
