Rhythm of Light It�s like a rhythm of light in your home A tear for the tired who wait A vision of something not quite alone Mistake upon many mistakes It�s like the rushing of feeling so right The song that will keep you awake Like the dream that you could not recall An event that has always forsaken you It�s like the roof that�s in need of repair And the garden of twilight undone Like the longing you felt in your greatest despair And no one to wake you when day has come Mister caretaker, missus soul-bend Have you no need for a friend It�s like clouds on a mountain of rain Like the truth in a sentence or two Like finality whispered so plain The beauty of something that hurts you too It�s like the last hare-brained scheme you imposed The nothing that lasted so long Like the martyr that could not compose in prose The meltdown that burns up all that�s wrong Confusion in single line file Breaks from the center and runs Lasting impressions on lingering smiles The beauty of what never comes
