in your great shining i was given light
a sudden and complete illumination
this is the barrier against the fall of night
there's nothing minor trivial nor slight
in this amazing fact of contemplation
in your bright shining i was given light
given this lustre my words take flight
there's only joy in their fresh aviation
this is the barrier against the fall of night
at last my mind can shake free of its fright
with happiness at this amalgamation
in your bright shining i was given light
before i was caught up in a strict plight
your presence here betokens liberation
this is the barrier against the fall of night
again i thank you grateful for the bright
aura that comes from this happy lustration
in your bright shining i was given light
this is the barrier against the fall of night
(C)2006, Fragano Ledgister
