I am a piece of falling light
Briefly I will light your eyes
All form is gone, and yet my
Body will brightly shine
–
Heart to heart and mind to mind
Can you tell, what am I?
Falling fire on angel wings
Or whisper of a buried dream
–
Am I desire of a silent heart
A wish that haunts you from afar
Falling faster, slipping away
Going as night goes to day;
–
Going as time moves its hand
The hourglass of golden sand
In seconds I am out of sight
A flash over the plane of time
–
I am a piece of falling light
Briefly I will light your eyes
You long for me, and yet I
Am falling even as I shine.
