the light of elendil

i am a small child
protect me like i was just born for
i was; 
yesterday was a long day
today might be longer

i am a small child
you are new stars: 
we just born, you so far but
enraptured by your light i reach
i reach across lightyears i reach
to hold you i sense
that I was born to love

i am a small child
in the morning when the sun
shines on the sidewalk it is as if
it agrees with my disposition
softly it shines, as if it newly woke
and cannot summon all its power
from its dreams to give to the day

do you know how afraid i am
of the distance
between us
