I am the smoke in the spotlight
Dancing in your warmth
Only do I come alive
When I am in your light
And I feel known
I drift in and out
Like a fickle lover
But you’ve never changed
Always in the same place for me to twist back
Every day I draw closer and drift less
Once drifting aimlessly
You sought me out
Picking me out
From the mess
Turning it to beauty
The intent always for beauty
Shrouded by dark
Until the purpose is discovered
All becomes promise
Hope fulfilled in You
Pluck me from the dark though I flee
May I find my purpose in you
