LIGHT OF THE DAY

The sun was hiding on the other side of the world
Confusing connections had snapped like a string of pearls
Everywhere I looked it was totally dark
Inside my eyes was the breath of a spark
of the light of the day

Waiting and waiting for the opportunity
To tell you this, but unfortunately,
Now that you're here, I am not alone
My need for expression has completely flown
(like a lark in the light of the day)

I need the hum of the humdrum
I need someone to be human
Whispered extensions of a secret
(Can you keep it do you seek it?)
mindful of my mortality
(like a mark on the light of the day)
