Radient shades of amber illusion,
Dance inside my sun-filled mind...

Through the skimpy clothes you're wearing,
I see a girl, young and scared...

I trudge through my dusty yard,
Tasting the smoky air...

My hesitant footsteps muffled by leaves,
Meander this ancient way...

Rythms beat and swell around me,
Resonating music in my core...

In so many words you told me,
How special I am to you...

Glimmer of water,
Shimmer of sky...

There's a glow in my eyes this Christmas,
That has much to do with you...

Come Lord, Show me Your holiness,
Overwhelm with Your worthiness...

I am like fire, warm and bright,
I give to those near, my warmth and light...

I am Misery,
And Misery is my name...

I don't know when this happened,
Or how this came to be...
