The Bending of the Light

 “The Bending of the Light”
– Hobbes Deutsch, Jr.


There’s one certainty that I have.
I know I love you. Never doubt that.
Everything else changes with time.
Thank you, to the bending of the light.

Every day, every sunrise and twilight
colors the blue day and the black night.
Full of perfect, fractured time-space
Inspires cherishing the day and each place
Thank you, to the bending of the light.

Upon each sacred dusk and breaking dawn
The hopes and dreams of our youth are drawn.
With years we change, never winning our fight.
Our rage against the dying of who’s right.
Whether life in good graces, or hiding behind faces
The universe shifts with the bending of the light.

So argue with me about the way the wind blows.
The sweat of mankind toiling in bitter blizzard snows.
Whatever happens will become for each of us
Passing phases of the moon, spreading magic dust.
All praises live on within the bending of the light.
