Out Goes The Light

Author: Stephen W. Cote

Out goes the light

Extinguished from sight

No feeling

Of transcended being

Ensconced by night

In my flight from life

Strength once within

Now eroded by wind

An ethereal breeze

Blows in me

Cautious steps into the unknown

A light that shines from the good lord

The faithful's awakening

Is happening

Reborn with angel wings

Fluttering swiftly, astoundingly free

Never time for prayer

Didn't care who was there

But pulled from the damned

By the good lord's hand

Don't know why he did it

I know I don't deserve it

Time has passed

Stars never last

The galactic truth

Wax the moon, sink the sun

A finite future for our daughters and sons

Out, out away from here

Yet somehow near

The promised land

For all women and men

Souls that have been liberated

Living in what a divine hand created

My nocturnal cloak

Now sun-soaked

And the angel wings

Are fluttering swiftly, astoundingly free

The corona in mind

And penumbra behind

Our thoughts of Earth

Wax the moon, sink the sun

It's a finite future for our daughters and sons

In the incandescent glow

Of what the light shows

Where will we go

Now that we know?

Taking flight into the unknown

Of a universe made by the good lord

My wings fluttering swiftly, astoundingly free
