One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.

To her Doctor so dread.
'Oh! what shall I take for't?'

Light –
Just enough we see
Too little we stumble
Too much we’re blinded!

A ball of burning fiery fire,
It dims gradually from its glory.
A canvas partly black, partially white, life is reduced to this...
Can it even be called life?

A moment of rekindling of the flame,
It made me crave for...

“The problem is",
She once told me,
“There is no passion without possession,
We can’t love people,

Day by day
Smiles grow wearisome

For He draws me to His side.

Ever faithful through the fury
Through the fire and through the flood
I am trusting as He guides...
