Eternal Night

 

Diamond drops

Memories past

Sparkle again

Prisoner no more

I’m free at last

 

Tear drops

Fading fast

Wipe my brain

Near the exit door

My dye is cast

 

Through the window

Of my quickening soul

An angel form is beckoning

Light fading now

I see my final reckoning

At the beginning, in the first two stanzas, I thought you were as seeing the raindrops sparkle on a window as the sun comes out, so you were seeing light after a time of either physical confinement, or trouble and pressure.

The last stanza puzzled me a bit, together with the title, as surely through our quickened soul, God beckons us to eternal light, though we meet him and know he sees all our failings, and all is 'reckoned up', he sees us in Jesus, washed and pardoned and welcomed into that place of light. So even as we leave this present light, we are welcomed into eternal light and his presence.

Am I misreading you?! Rhiannon
