One day Ill find a window,
Where the light shines through.
No more darkness, no more pain.
A pathway to my freedom;
A rope to save the fallen;
A direction on a barren lane;
The name of an unknown soldier.
A step into the future
And away from the past.
They say that light leads way to the Angels.
Twas the light of the Northern star
Which led the Magi to Bethlehem
To witness the birth of Christ.
Its lets me know that existence still exists Outside my black universe; That off my black canvas Lays a pallet full of colours, And a world I cannot see.
It stopped the loneliness And lent me the gift of time. If only I could reach To feel the outside world, To smell the flowers so sweet, Wave the seasons goodbye As they come and go.
But here, these chains encapture me,
Alone in this room-
Only a window for company.
