Longing

A thousand lights shine out from heav’nly homes
Speaking of peace and hope unto the soul
Their light reflected back to those above
Filled with the might and majesty of love

A thousand nights I’ve sat and gazed upon
This hidden scene, yet still my thoughts remain
When all this light has gone and passed away
What within my heart is left to stay

A silent message whispers to my ear
With answer clear and filled with radiant truth
That though the world must change and not abide
There’s one who’ll always stay here by my side

And unto them I turn, and need no more
