The Lights On The Mountains

In the winded paths of life
All that came in my way
Often made me wonder
What is true solace?
And if the light within us really existed!
And tonight
As I leant on my balcony
With the light breeze ruffling my hair
And the clamminess of the air felt surprisingly pleasant
the lights on the mountain glowed on my face
And the stars from the moonlit sky descended on the peaks
And within each of them resided the havens of my dreams
Each was home to a galaxy
The fires burning in the homes
Showed me hope of someday making my own
The lights that decorated the mountain like a Christmas tree
Were celebrating life;
(Every day and) Every night of it
I felt those lights illuminating the unspoken words within me
They were radiating the ambitions that had dug themselves deep in my heart
They were showing me the undiscovered paths within me
Showing me alleys never trodden.
I felt myself striding in my heart
I was stepping on my soul
I was discovering new terrain, new dimension, new territory
and it was the lights on the mountains that showed me who I was
They dawned the secret of true solace upon my heart
They told me of untold happiness, and of unspoken bliss
And it was lights on the mountains
That enticed me with the magic and the fantasy
The enchantment that had been covered by the dust from the real world.
I have started to live again.
I have started to glow again
Like the lights on the mountains.
