A Test to My Spirit

Like a flicker fighting the darkness,
Like a spark yearning for its fight,
Like a flame that seeks kindling,
Searching for its light.

Like a heartbeat racing in shadows,
Or a sigh that's lost in flight,
As starlight bows to the rising sun,
It's a battle not in sight.

When the day breaks, we'll seek the truth,
Buried deep in the ash and hue.
When the day breaks, I shall shout aloud:
Oh, why must I burn away for loving you?
