In silent sadness sit and watch the sky

but never see the promise in its hue

If only one could take to wing and fly

and leave the Earth to wage its Waterloo

The sun goes down again in déja vu

a neon light show wasted on your youth

A single star the only thing in view

a tiny light to illustrate the truth.

You write your name in blood to justify

this raven heart you tell the world is you

Beware the Devil lest your soul supply

another herb to tincture Satan’s brew

As you believe you watch yourself unglue

defy the dark and leave your blinkered booth

Believe and read your future’s billet-doux

a tiny light to illustrate the truth.

Look up and see the sunshine signify

a new day with a firmament of blue

Inflate your lungs with air and purify

the ravages of teenage feverfew

See miracles unpublished hitherto

to one so set on wolf and saber-tooth

Delight in life – explore another view

a tiny light to illustrate the truth.

If I could write but one line that were true

to help you as you drink of life’s vermouth

‘twould be this text: there shines inside of you

a tiny light to illustrate the truth.
