Hikari

October 27, 2019

(“Hikari” is Japanese for “light”)

Oh, my sad friend I can see the dark in your eyes It's closing in again, isn't it? Cutting off the sun and blackening the skies.

I hate to see you this way So downcast and forlorn No one else sees it, They neither weep nor mourn

I used to fear that I'd see nothing more That the light in you would die And you'd lose the fight and the war

Now I know there is more I see something in your eyes Not pain, not misery But an idea on the rise

You found your way out of the dark All you needed was a paper and pen So don't lose hope, my love For the light will shine again
