Light and Warmth

 

Sitting alone

In a cold dark room

Is pain

 

The brain shrinks

And becomes small

Where to go where to go?

 

Light shoots forth a single ray

Down into the living room

I can’t breathe I can’t breathe

 

Curtains draw in display

Of the night of day

Open the curtains

And let the light stream in

It’s warm

 

And the body tingles

The cold ember heats a little

Just a little

 

Spread the arms and feel the warmth

Caress the body tenderly

A new breath lights the world away

From this once cold dark room
