Take me to the lamppost
Where my heart goes to gleam
Replace the fire with the spark from the sea
See the way she radiates back at me
Take me to the lamppost
Where the light has dimmed
See what once stood bright and constant
now holding only things that became dark and exanimate
Take me to the lamppost
Where memories of the light
Try to hold on best they can
Though loss is drying, blurred in the mute sand
Take me to the lamppost
To what once was gold and blazen
Remind me of what used to be
Fire kindled through glass; and see!
Take me to the lamppost
Where I yearn to see the light
That was once within.
