Alone I dwelled in my solitary dungeon
A dungeon seeping with pain and filth
Darkness dust and slimy slimy creatures
Crawled and coiled into my soul
Life blood oozed from my open wounds
As the dreary days crept on and on
With an ice cold heart and putrid sores
I waited for the dawn of dusk
Dawn did come but not of dusk
It was the dawn of a bright sunshine
She came to my dungeon with dreamy eyes
And swept away the filth and grime
Softly with care and endless hope
I held her lovely tender form
Precious she was and kiss I did
And held on to her radiance
I thought of darkness dust and filth
I thought of them with dread and fear
But with the sunshine close to me
I forgot them like a bad old dream
Sunshine....I know you will have to fly
To light up one more distant heart
Will I languish in darkness and filth?
Or will I glitter the way i do?
Sublime hope with its tender wings
Sure do glimmer once in a while
The glimmer is brief and laced with haze
But that’s all which comforts me
