All I See

Frost, wind, darkness

All around that is all I see,

Yet a light seems to be shining

Telling something to me.

Like music

Sung in a foreign language,

Telling a story through rhythm,

Through notes, and voice

I hear a bird crying off in the distance,

The fire crackling nearby,

Smell the sent of cookies

Drifting though the air.

Rain pouring outside,

But inside it sounds calm

A tap on the window,

Quiet but there.

Inside I am sheltered.

Sheltered against the storm,

Nothing can affect me now

Safe and warm.

As the door opens and we step outside,

There is only sunshine.

A wind, a breeze

That fills the air,

But darkness and despair

Just disappear into the night.

With you the sun

Just shines so bright.

Frost, wind, darkness

All around that is all I saw,

Yet now I see a light

The light in your soul,

It’s shining for you and me.
