Flicker of Joy

Oh, my elusive light, where have you been?

A whisper in the shadows, soft and thin

Creamy glow, unnatural sight

Are you a dream or a flicker of the night?

Caught between the darkness and the strain

Is this a trap or a world gone insane?

Are you here to heal or to cause pain?

My shadow dances, my hopes sustain

If only I could see you clear

My lost reflection drawing near

Step beside me, break my fear

Together, we'll make it, my dear

My joy, come follow, stand by my side

I've chased your glow, long and wide

Short steps, a new path I find

Rest and transform, leave guilt behind

Webs of silence, I wanna cleanse

Feel alive, break the pretenses

My cold heart, burn with desire

You're the fire that fuels my fire

If only I could see you plain

No more worry, no more pain

Show your true face, break the chain

In your light, I’ll remain

My joy, come follow, stand by my side

I've chased your glow, long and wide

Short steps, a new path I find

Rest and transform, leave guilt behind

Flicker slow, yet ground shakes below

Lost in your glow, where do I go?

A dance of fire, cold and hot

In your reflection, I am caught

My joy, don't flicker, hold me tight

Together we’ll burn, ignite the night

See me, admire me, break free

In your light, I’m truly me
