Seasons of Light

The cycle of pain's despair
followed by seasons of light
the darkness of soulful ache
the ebony pit of night

When bleakness reigns all supreme
far longer than I would like
suddenly the storm subsides
followed by seasons of light

The silence of agony's shriek
tearing my sleep apart
the burning keeps me awake
the sadness of lonely heart

Crushing me till I break
The shrill of a tortured soul
when  the end is near in sight
when the death bell rings it's toll

Suddenly a season of light
pulls me out from the charcoal abyss
a tender touch of gentle whispers
a dream to hold and kiss

Why can't the season of light
forever grace my life
why must it leave me suddenly
turning into seasons of night

The cycle of pain's despair
followed by seasons of light
haunt me through eternity
an endless cycle of blight.

So why should I complain
of the contrast that is mine
be glad ye say for the glimpse of sun
at least ye had some time

Some time to sing, to laugh, and praise
the joy that sometimes was mine
the seasons of light that came to me
on the bleakest of winters night
