I had a solo visitor
At the dawning of the day,
she filtered through my window
Dressed in the sun's pale morning ray.
We sipped silently on dewdrops
As the world woke from its sleep,
And she handed me a promise
Of a life wider than deep.
"I am the hunter of all shadows,
Darkness can't live when I am near,
I will give to you in life
That's free of doubt, worry and fear.
Everything you've ever wanted
Will fall right into your palms
Every path will be the right one
And every ocean will be calm."
"There's just one thing," I asked politely,
"Will I be happy once it's done?"
But she had slipped out from beside me
Like the quickly setting sun.
