THE LANTERN Gather around.Let me shed light.
As we step among buried bones,
where souls were lost to night.
Like weary travelers,
walking solemn and tattered.
Let me shed light,
on all the stones scattered.
And when we stand among the graves,
with hope to see a glimmer
of a soul that still exists,
to explain that eerie shimmer.
We'll wonder how a strange shadow
is so iridescently haunting.
While I carry the lantern,
through the dark and daunting.
