Starbursts

Starbursts surround me

After the saddest of days

Saying goodbye

Is real once we give away

What you owned

All that you loved

And yet now only peace remains

Returning with the memories

Of other times

When things were golden

Before the axe fell

And the storm came

Nearly destroying love

Sucking away life and light

Oh my lord It seemed I lived so many years in darkness

Not really knowing how badly I was affected

How blocked my heart had become

By all the betrayal and the loss

But over these years of darkness

I realise tonight

My heart has become strong

Through grief accepted

And so I feel for those who refuse

To open their hearts to pain

For without this there is no liberation

No true transformation

It must be true that the darkness give birth to stars

Because tonight I feel

Starlight all around me
