Analysis of This Light!
This light!
Why do I forget it's there
When it's here
And everywhere I stare?
How come after I fall and incur guilt,
I see this light like a moon
In all the darkness of my filth?
One ray will save me
And my day,
It will keep me from sinning again.
If I am darkness
like the darkness of space,
God is like to the moon.
Doesn't that mean deception is everywhere
And false prophets are in bloom
That even a rainbow is a tomb?
