Chapter Notes: This is my second poem submitted to MNFF. I suppose it could easily be written by just about anyone in the first war or second war, who happens to be completely taken by love. I, however (as you’ve probably guessed if you know anything about me), wrote it to be by Gideon, little Romeo that he is.
I’ve always loved this carol, and it broke my heart to rewrite the verse about myrrh.
Never the less, I did. The other big challenges were the complicated rhyme scheme and the fact that… well, I’m extremely inexperienced in the area of writing about love. Also, songs. Not to mention terms like 'doth'. So maybe cut me a little slack?
The Perfect Light

I thought love forever afar;
To like, to want, both always I’d bar,
Yet thee I’ve found; my heart abound.
I have thee now, only star.

For, thou art wonder, thou art light,
Unequalled be thy beauty bright,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.


Born was I, both simple and plain.
Not rich, nor smart, just normal, mundane,
With me, you’ll never feel that ever,
You are unloved or in pain.

O, I wonder thou can be so bright,
Thy mind, thy form, thy soul of light,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.


I thought not once this you might reply,
I knew at once unworthy was I–
Thy spirit be beyond that of me–
At one glance of the eye.

Thy wonder and thy love be light,
How could thou make my life so bright?
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.


Yet here thou art; I see of no doom.
The world doth threat an unholy tomb;
Not trying, my fear is dying,
Thy light expels the gloom.

O, for with thou, thou brings the light,
Thou art with me; the future’s bright,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, guide me to the perfect light.


In times of war, tested is our tie,
Down come the false, and every lie.
Without demur, you still remain pure,
None of your beauty will die.

For, thou art wonder, thou art bright,
Thy mind, thy form, thy soul of light,
As thou proceed, my heart you lead,
O, for thou art the perfect light.
