Build us up a pillar

String the lights around

Let us find a way to sleep

in this crazy lit up town

The brightness it illumes

Brings down the vengeful heart

Somehow all of this beaming

Consumes the thoughts of dark

Cleansing is a ritual

Only love remains

Regrets that gleamed in yesteryear

No longer cause such pain

Did you write it around Christmas? Very uplifting.

------------------
"All deaths are suicides, do you realize that? Every single one. The only distinction is that, with some people, suicide is a subconscious choice, and with others it's a conscious choice. Otherwise, those who commit suicide and those who succumb to accident, illness or "old age," die for exactly the same reason: belief in the inevitability of death." Linda Goodman

Hey Randall,

Nope, just wrote it after a Good Friday communion service at church...I was sitting in my living room, staring out at the street lights, pondering what I had let go for this bright re-newed year ahead.

This has a nice ring to it. It would make a great song.

Thanks, Randall and GypseeWind! I never thought about it becoming a song...that's a new thought to ponder
