Journey

As I tread a hard and weary way

Through the universe empty and dark

I realize yet again

That only you can ignite that spark

That you were the light of my life

That, in my heart you made and indelible mark.

A night years ago

When I saw your face from far,

I gave you my heart

And cared not that you were a star.

Your shining serene face glowed

And in a twinkle I knew your answer.

Your presence made my face shine

Maybe it was the light of love dear!

I wanted to rush into your arms

And be yours once and forever.

I decked myself with a glittering viel

And shyly gushed in a bridal glow.

What did we lack?

Oh! What did we lack that

I had to go back?

Why couldn’t we stay together?

Why did it have to end?

Fate and time conspired

To keep us far apart.

And I knew the happy time,

The wonderful, blissful time

Alas, was not meant to be.

My happy shining face clouded

With tears and agony

But I knew it was of no avail

I had to continue my journey.

Somewhere along the way,

I threw my glittering veil away

For it was a remembrance

Of fortune’s cruel play.

And here I am an ill fated comet

Alone in the dark empty universe

Fated to leave my loved one

The bright, shining, immovable sun.
