Sustaining Light

Oh cup of intermingling light,

Watch o’er me tonight,

For in my flight I fear,

The fancy and the fool in me,

And I long for inner days of peace,

And tranquility,

I know tis you that draws them both,

The road is dim yet plain before me,

Daybreaks at dawn,

My path is illumined,

And I consumed with passion,

Burning like the sun,

Will run to meet you,

Fear not for me,

I am strongly purposed,

Love first,

Duty,

Honor,

And trust in you,

My guiding,

And sustaining light.
