I see the light in the Window

see the light in the window,
see it play with the trees --
see the light in the window,
see it flow as it please --

i have seen the great Darkness --
i have lay standing by --
i have been the Great darkness
and i have survived

i see the light in the window,
and i lift from my knees --
see the beauty, the willows
as they sway in the breeze

i stand, and the wind --
it plays with my hair;
behind my pink eyelids
i continue to stare --

oh! i see the light in the window,
feel the caress of the breeze
for today is the day
i shall rise from my knees

consider the rose petal,
soft and fair,
consider the rose petal,
lying there

so far from the rose
it moves with a breath
oh! consider the rose petal:
exquisite in death

consider the pose
of a petal so pure
long after life
its pleasures endure

on a cheek
on a lip
on a breast
or a hip

consider the rose
whose petals are showered
on lovers abandoned
on meadows once flowered

beauty in life
exquisite in death
consider the rose
it moves with a breath
