There are no shadows
And there is no shade
From the locust harvest today.
There is an acceptance,
A wisdom dawning
That to see the light
You first have to get a lamp
And not keep it so damp
And keep refilling the oil.
Such is life, and such is love
Lit by the lamp of life,
Ignited in the heart,
Blazing the brain
And to save the light
From the rain and the pain
Needs altruism,
And forgiveness
And a whole plethora
Of gimmicks
And there is no seeing
Without the light,
No shadows,
No shade.
