Darkness Illuminates The Light

Just as notes become songs, hours will become days.
Simple thought but still,
lifetimes resonate from our habits and ways.
Memories will allow for kindnesses.
Joys measured evenly in the tones of my rhymes.
Goodness and light are mine.
Yes, goodness and light are mine.

Just as moments become hours,
words will always bring understandings.
Perhaps unpredictable outcomes but still,
call it what you will.
It is life and we are the lucky ones.
We are the children of the sun.
Goodness and light are mine.
Yes, goodness and light are mine.
The darkness illuminates the light.
It won't matter if I am wrong or if I am right.
You can find the peace, in the darkness of your night.
Yes, I believe that all the darkness
illuminates the light.
Claim all the goodness and light.
Yes, we are always more,
when we see the goodness and the light.
