A Bit of Light

Far beyond our humble home
Far away from you and me
Light has left a distant star
Without care for any of us
A bit of light
No future and no past
On its way to planet earth
One day that light
Will finally arrive
To this very piece of land
We’ll no longer be of this earth
Not even a memory
And it wouldn’t look for us
Never knew of you or me
A bit of light
Eternal light
We don’t really measure up
And yet for me
My love for you
‘tis the most colossal thing
In the grand scheme of things
We may really not be stars
In the context of our lives
We are all each other has
A bit of light
Shining in the night
That is what you are for me
If love is just
A passing light
There is eternity in that flash
