Light

I woke up in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
I stood up and
I went out but
It wasn't dark outside
A million stars were
In the sky
And the moon shone bright
I heard distance
I felt space
I could smell the night
For some moments
I was captured
Captured by the light
The light, the light,
I was captured by the light

I woke up in the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
I heard thunder
I saw lightning
Hailstones lashed my tent
I didn't want to
Leave my warm
Goose feather sleeping-bag
With a matchstick
I lit a candle
And stared a while at the flame
For some minutes
I was captured
Captured by the light
The light, the light,
I was captured by the light
