Foggy morning, cobwebs in my heart,
in day’s dim dawn, my world felt pulled apart,
the threads were broken, all my prospects frayed,
my hope was shrouded and my colors grayed

Then came the message,
clear across the night –
you were made to shine angelic light –
whatever entropy has stultified your dreams
can just be dust, can seep out at the seams

You never were that construct,
stitched of story, stuffed with fear,
all this time, you have been holy,
all this time, your purpose clear

This is your color
and it will shine on through –
angelic light, the quality of you.
