Lux Umbra

Beneath the surface deep thoughts lie
singing heart’s sweet lullaby.

A secret trail lies hidden there
with her mind tattooed in the air,
where candles light up stories great
and hardships of her history fade.

There’s dark outside, but inside’s the storm
where fires burn and keep her warm.
She shut the heavy door of past,
knowing that the pain won’t last,
and struck the match within her heart
to ignite the thoughts that tore her apart.

The stream of memories flows through her veins
where nothing but sacred silence remains
to guide her songs on a path anew,
where her voice is no longer calling for you.

Leading her out of black shadows tonight
a new chapter finds peace on that meadow bright.
