Lost in infinite gloom, my world was all dark
When someone lit a candle in the dark inside
Dazzled were my eyes, I couldn’t even see
Anything but where the cobwebs and dust reside
Is it my alienation, the estrangement to my own self
That made me so trembled that I shut my eyes wild?
I wanted to blow the candle off
Run back to where I always hide
Just when out in a corner, in the dim light
A pair of glittering eyes smiled
Holding some colours in her tender hands
She giggled with the innocence of a child
Her illness could reach her body but not her heart
In her face both pain and joy confide
The colours in her hands began to fly
Making a rainbow above me, they all allied
Her glittering eyes chased the darkness away
With her bright smile all my fears died.
