A lantern in the dark
Lightened by the flame
Glowing like a heart
That has never felt the pain
It sits all alone
end of a beaten path
Through the gnarly trees
Leaves dance in gleaming bath
Striving I move on
Reaching for the glow
Finding the way home
Step by step I strive
I don’t feel alive
Reaching for the past
Where my light will last
Thunder and the rain
Flicker of the fire
My legs start to tire
On and on I go
Thirsting for the glow
Yearning for that warmth
That I lost before
The lantern in the dark
That was once my heart
