I had never seen the Light before

Turn back and live  again, he  said to me
Do not  wander in this blackness anymore
One wrong move will give death victory

We are each connected to his tree
The sunlit top, the roots hid in earth’s floor
Come,  live,  despite  your soul’s in agony

While we live, we’ll live with dignity
Not scrabbling for the gold in blood and gore
One more lie will give  death victory

The kindness of this golden light was  sure
And left an image in my soul’s deep core
Come live your life,  come live, he  spoke to  me

So do not wonder  now why you are here
We’re here to live and living shall restore
What  our suffering self has found so dear

I had never seen the Light before
Only Christ the tyger with his roar
Come back, accept, he  gently said to me
One right turn  and  here’s eternity
