Analysis of Sweet Shining Light
Sweet shining light
Blinds the sight,
And my heart sinks
With a new forged link.
Falling deep into her grip
The brokenness no longer rips.
She mends and heals
The wand of hope she wealds.
In her, completion I find,
Now our destiny to bind.
Forever her promise of the heart
Guarantees we never shall part.
