Come Swiftly Now, As Love That Lights the Dark

Another sonnet!

Come swiftly now, as love that lights the dark

For what is fire that does not know a spark

If you or I could know what night sends forth

Would love stay bold or would its life be short

Night smothers hope, dilutes love’s potency

The lost souls wander, drifting aimlessly

With darkness, comes all doubt and lack of faith

And in its grip, all good is but a wraith

Yet night recedes and joy comes with the morn

Like precious strands of sun after a storm

Remember drops of gold in seas of red

Know love can’t die nor will it cease to reign

Remember times of life when love seems dead

Know love is light, the Name above all Names
