Bright, yet far— Shining light I hold dear, A sacred soul. A guardian ember, Luminous as it is— A heavenly beauty Yet to be seen. In darkness, I call: Canopus, Moon, and Sirius— Only they I adore, Only them do I long for. A path I trek Only I can see. The stars shine To guide me. A lantern, this lantern— Only it compares To the starry night That I yearn for. That heaven embraces earth, That light shines Even when darkness lurks. For that, I seek To call peace.

Lantern
Bright, yet far— Shining light I hold dear, A sacred soul. A guardian ember, Luminous as it is— A heavenly beauty Yet to be seen. In darkness, I call: Canopus, Moon, and Sirius— Only they I adore, Only them do I long for. A path I trek Only I can see. The stars shine To guide me. A lantern, this lantern— Only it compares To the starry night That I yearn for. That heaven embraces earth, That light shines Even when darkness lurks. For that, I seek To call peace.
