Shadows of a chandelier Beautiful mystery of dark and light Dancing, weaving, wondering, feeling Not seeing with glassy eyes Light fragmented sun ray cracked The mind casts long reels of doubt Wonder yet confusion Enjoyment yet delusion How many roles to play? Theatrical conceit Characters as hours of a day? Eye-catching as deceit Illustrious – lustre – lust – last? Lest lukewarm fire stir The ashes sprinkled Memory of the present Mourning love yet to be lost Why hold a storm for the rainbow? But let the sun shine And be glorious in its God-written course To set and rise in perfect time

Shadows of a Chandelier
Shadows of a chandelier Beautiful mystery of dark and light Dancing, weaving, wondering, feeling Not seeing with glassy eyes Light fragmented sun ray cracked The mind casts long reels of doubt Wonder yet confusion Enjoyment yet delusion How many roles to play? Theatrical conceit Characters as hours of a day? Eye-catching as deceit Illustrious – lustre – lust – last? Lest lukewarm fire stir The ashes sprinkled Memory of the present Mourning love yet to be lost Why hold a storm for the rainbow? But let the sun shine And be glorious in its God-written course To set and rise in perfect time
