I want to know, how should I play?

What are the rules, day after day?

I want to know, where is it gone?

What was it there that’s gone with dawn?

I want to know, how can I speak?

When it’s not there, what is to seek?

How do I praise if I can’t see?

Falls out of sight, how could it be?

How did I play? I lost the game!

I played my part; who is to blame?

Searching for it morning and night,

Insist to win, hoping for light.

How do I know? Maybe I’m sleep.

Dreaming so deep, deeper than deep.

How do I know when I am done?

He will be there brighter than sun.

Hoping to be gentle and kind,

Love is the one I want to find.

Love is the one for me to win,

But lost so fast; let me give in.

I am so lost,, not knowing why,

What is to see with blinded eye?

What is this thing that shines so bright?

Guiding my life through shades of night.

Maybe there is a heavenly spark.

Even for me, searching in dark. 

If all secrets unveil themselves,

Then, no fear, we give ourselves.

Don’t ask me now what will be there,

When I am done, then ask me where.

Until that day, silence, I choose,

No matter what, this game, we lose.

My heart and soul; they ache to find,

Even a glimpse, I do not mind.
