Darkest Nights

In my darkest nights

you have been by my side

as I sat and cried.

Through the tears and the fights

the pain and the fears

through all these years.

In my darkest nights you have sat by my side

as ones we loved have died

and those we nurtured lied.

As we sat through deaths final watch

and returned to earth that which brought me life.

On my darkest days you freely entered the fray.

To save me from myself and what I could have become.

You are truly my One.

Never forgetting what we have come from

when everything seems undone.

In my darkest nights

with you by my side

your lips on my head

your hands in my hair

your arms wrapped around me

you have been there.

In my darkest nights

you are the light that guides

forever by my side.

Even as I kneel at your feet

you lift me up that I might see

all of the things life could be.

In my darkest night

you are my light just within sight

the One constellation
always guiding me

home.

Never to be alone.
