Rays of bronze

Once in a while

Golden rays of sunlight

Pierce the indigo gloom

That surrounds the sorrowing soul

Taking refuge in her room

While all around

The ghosts of past experience dance

Leaving their sufferer

With head bowed and body broken

Locked in painful feelings

All covered over by trance

Set apart so far

From the healing comfort

Of life and light and love

 But then all of a sudden

Out of the barren gloom

All of a sudden on a brighter afternoon

Rays of bronze appear

To fill the room

Piercing through the consciousness of a heart

That is longing so desperately

For an intimation of hope

To dispel the dark of doubt

Bringing a tentative glimmer 

Of brighter times to come

And then for a golden instant

The soul will open itself

To draw the warmth inside

Through eyes grown clear

From all the tears we cried
