Step into the light
One time
Before you go
Don’t you leave
My life
This way
Let me see your face
One time
Before you go
Will your eyes
Give you
Away
They’re windows to the soul
And I see you
Hiding in the dark
Trapped within your mind
What you’re feeling
Afraid to let it start
And you know that I’m ready
And I’m waiting for you
To open up and let me come in
Just the slightest possibility
Is all that I need
To plant a seed and let our love begin
So step into the light
Just step into the light
I know you want to leave
I won’t stop you
I won’t stand in your way
But listen to your heart
Can you hear it
And what it’s trying to say
You think you can ignore it
Keep it there in the dark
Still finding ways to push it aside
And so you look the other way
Or sweep it under a rug
Anything to keep it out of sight
Oh, won’t you step into the light
Just step into the light
Step into the light
One time
Before you go
Don’t you leave
My life
This way
Let me see your face
One time
Before you go
Will your eyes
Give you
Away
Take my hand and let me guide you
To a place where light can find you
Promise me you won’t let go
At least until I’m sure you know
It’s raining down from high above
And you’re standing in the light …
Of love
Step into the light
One time
Before you go
Don’t you leave
My life
This way ~

Ah, to have such a friend, must be a true blessing. A genuine masterpiece of expressions, of a hymn written so flawlessly, by the hand of a poète doué... Beautiful, wonderful flow, enchanting till the very end... And yet, I wanted it not to end; such a gorgeous write should never end.... But then again, we'd be here for a little while, wouldn't we? lol. Another spectacular Melodie from you, Scott. Thanks so much for sharing! I hope she finds her way to the light, and into your arms.... Perfect write. Forever,
Votre fleur à jamais enchantée |

Why does this remind me of the kind of man who can speak beautifully and make a woman feel like he is really interested in who she is, but in reality is only interested in what she'll put out? Sorry to be so blunt. I don't trust men who talk like this. Goes way back. Nothing against you Nazzy. Maybe this was written tongue in cheek or seriously and you aren't that kind of guy, but it sure makes me think of that kind of guy. Got me rambling anyway, so it's obviously an effective write one way or the other.

Beautiful lyrics and song, and very romantic, Naz. The ending seems sad, yet contemplative.... for me there appears hope that she will change her mind and stay....convinced by the power and loving intensity of your words.
Super job Naz

Beautiful, Nazzy.
Like Katy said, whoever this is about is very lucky.
I can kinda see Stitch's point too, but I don't think you're like that and I don't think that's what this is about.
Great write.
*hugs* Phil xxx |

Still, it's a wonderful poem.

All very good, Mr. Mythian. I've only one gripe about this one, and its regarding the verse before the last chorus.
"It’s raining down from high above
And you’re standing in the light …
Of love"
This is a good line, however, It doesn't work logically onto the next ;
I'd change it to;
"Its blazing down from high above,
So step into that light of love"
Or something. I think that to ask someone to step into something they're already standing in is a little weird. Just a suggestion.
Yours pedantically,
N_F |

Oh can we make suggestions? LOL.. I'd suggest that you change it to..
As I write this sweet refrain..
feel sweet, soft, Seattle rain.
Let it pour upon your lips
as I caress your soft,,,,
oh stop me ..stop me... |

"Promise me you won’t let go
At least until I’m sure you know
It’s raining down from high above
And you’re standing in the light … "
I sit corrected in the fact that it does flow well onto the chorus line. However, i'm still unsure about the line about 'raining down from high above', as its not really correlative with insecurity/mistrust/whatever, and seems forced into rhyming 'above' with 'love', which I usually wince at in lesser poems.
Overall though - very well written.
Keep writing, Naz.

I've been to this page at least three or four different times, on different days, in different moods... and still have yet to comment. I'm not even sure why that is...
Maybe... it's because I think there is something very familiar embedded in this piece. Or maybe... because I think I've known both sides of this. Or... because I'm so impressed that you have awareness but still know patience. Most of all - it is perhaps because there is no resolution, no answer here - and - I haven't one to offer either. I don't know, Nazzy... but, yeh - it keeps pulling me back here.
Why do we fear the light so?

You have a great one here naz!
What I get out of this is writing to someone that is afraid of love, yet is most likely already in love.
Its hard to be torn between being too pushy (to make them aware) or too standoffish(afraid they will think you don't care) A fine tightrope that you've expressed well. |

Man, this is truly excellent. The picture of selfless love this inspires is really uplifting, and perfectly portrayed. Bravo!
Question: why is this not a song on a CD in my possession?

Beautiful!
That's what real love and caring's all about...
there's depth and sensitivity- and real understanding in these words.
I'm so glad I read this :) |

Snazzy .. okay .. I'm sorry, but I have to confess, I was drawn to this piece by the
title. (A Phil Collins song ... "DANCE into the light" ringing in my ears ..)
But once I arrived .. I was completely blown away, dear poet. You have such a capable
and impressive way in expressing emotion of the deepest nature. Beautiful lyrics, naz.
I wish I could tell you what moved me most, but I am not sure I could place my finger on
it exactly.. the whole composition is just stunning. Though I could venture to say that
this ..
"Take my hand and let me guide you
To a place where light can find you"
touched me in ways that I can't find words to express.
Lovely and tender, scotty.
~Breezy
