Form black as ebony

As dark as unending night

But even in night

There is a light.

Deep darkness

Possessing the soul

A grief that seems unending

Won't you let the flame show?

Soul Red as rubies

As bright as burning fire

But even the fire holds a warning

To close will burn not warm.

Fearless fire

Burning in the heart

A flame long thought dead

Sparks back into life.

Form pink as blossom

As light as life

An unquenched thirst

Met only by him.

Living in light

But loved in shadow

A bridge for darkness

A way into love.
