The Road Ahead

Don't think of me as the setting sun, Laying its mantle of black and gray, Don't see me as part of your dark night, I am the beginning of your day Don't gaze on me as summer's last rose That winter's fingers have touched with death, Do not fear to sow your seeds of love, I am the promise of Spring's first breath Don't flee from me, recalling the gales That wrecked your sail in a blinding storm, Have no fear to moor your heart in me, I am your safe harbor, calm and warm Don't see me as that fickle candle That you once lit, but whose flame withdrew, No longer need you curse the darkness, I am your light, and I'll burn for you Don't fear, my love, I'll not deceive you Like others that turned your heart to stone, Soon your heart will soar on gilded wings, For I'm the love you have longed to own Don't you see? Your darkest days have passed, Feel the sun's warmth, hear the nightbird sing, Together we'll walk the road ahead, Together we'll face what Fate may bring
