Time passes in various shades
of black and white
But memories are recalled
in rainbow hues
Sorrow and joy intermingled sweetly together
My blackest nights
Shaded with loneliness and frustration
Lighten to deep purple by the shining
of one candle
A candle always shines
Light creates light
I wish I could take my life
And let it form the pages of a book
So I could relive it all
Distanced from the pain and passion
Oh if I could read that book again
Still knowing how it ends
It wouldn’t keep me up nights
