Beneath Guiding Lights

Blanket of twinkling guiding lights
envelope me from the coldness.
Restore my faith in the damaged shores
that drowned my aching soul.

Revive the failing heart that could
not beat without the touch of hope.
Pour these tears into the clouds above
then let them shatter to the floor.

Kiss the wounds from my body that
had been engraved there by another.
Suffering innocence being violated
Bacteria poison from his words.

Brush the shadows haunting my mind
then sweep the ashes of the twinge.
The tender heartstrings which continue
to throb though nothing pulls them.

Restore the image from my mirror
that might have remained smudged.
Silver vials glimmering in the closet
holding droplets of stained faith.

Discharge these chains of regret from
my world that continue to bind my spirit.
Pour these tears into the clouds above
then let them shatter to the floor.

While I continue to cry
beneath your guiding light
