AND IN COMES A LIGHT
I met a chap in Brussels today
As if a friend from faraway
He claimed no part of a world of someday
Yet he stood toward the sun as if stealing a ray
We walked just a mile as the light turned to shade
And impressions of hope upon me he made
A pal, perchance from a land now unknown
Just a glimpse of his story was I briefly shown
What if there’s no evermore, a candle blown out
Or a street built on promise that only serves doubt
It may be our world is just here, all for show
That once finished, life’s over, with nowhere to go
Couldn’t help but imagine if maybe he’s right
That the sun is just now and the rest is all night
Then in came that rain, well it fell hard and fast
Like a wall that just crumbles, not meant to last
Returned to my path with a strange sense of wonder
Is this life a dream or some spell that I’m under?
The wet mirror reflected a blurred vision of truth
That lies and beguiles the folly of youth
Who knows if the end will break darkness with light
Still onward I’ll travel in hopes that it might
This fellow now friend, I hope he agrees
A future of sun shining down on the the trees
Worth the 6 minutes to watch
