Nightfall shades have come down
silence of night engulfs this town
Dawn arrives two hours behind
I sit in bed trembling,
watching hours pass me by

Lightning strikes
hits the same place twice
the hues of thoughts
prayers,
offered up
a wandering soul
finds the light

Hours fly
like birds in formation seeking shelter from the cold nights
Our tears mark the trail,
the way we shall take
tear stained paths all conjoining
tied together like ribbons
brought together by suffering

Lightning strikes
hits the same place twice
the hues of thoughts
prayers,
offered up
a wandering soul
finds the light

Searching,
we're all searching
Hoping someday we might find,
the missing note in our opera
the sonnet's ending rhyme

Lightning strikes
hits the same place twice
the hues of thoughts
prayers,
offered up
a wandering soul
finds the light
