Food4thought: "Radiant Flower of the Night"

Radiant Flower of the Night

As darkness falls, so does my heart

As night takes over, tears stain the page

So in this moment, I must remember how great Love art

For in this moment, my own pain is too great to gauge

So I will go to Love’s oldest friend

For only she can my heart mend

To this flower my mind I lend

If by her, my pain might end

O radiant flower of the night

How beautiful is your soothing light

For by it, I can rise once more

That for Love I will win this internal war

By your leading light I walk this path

That the enemy shall taste my full wrath

But should a single step ever stray

Guide me back, O beacon of light, I pray

Nocturnal sunflower, I implore you to give your true name

That should I need you again, your truths I might first claim

And if my crest again should fall

Might I find rest when to you I call

And so as night comes evermore

By this flower I gain my might

So since Love I truly adore

For hope, I look to the radiant flower of the night
