you swirling eyes, green designs
shatters my resolve, leaves me blind
I surrender to  your emerald gaze

That dead to the world feeling
(while still impatiently alive)

Not knowing what terrible beast comes
Slipping out from the ebon blackness

Wandering life, hoping  to find a small light
Only more darkness seen in eager search
Let there be light, Oh, Let there be light,
Please let there be light

The first days of warmth
always seem long, perpetual
Though grateful for rays beaming, burning the dark of winter from you
The death of winter leaving,
thus spring gracing us
with its gilded flowers and endless light

Always be the sun
To light all darkness
Bring yourself back to life
When you feel hopeless
Strength is in you
Guide yourself respectfully
Be willing and able
Stay determined accordingly
