The golden lights

The golden lights in the fig tree

In the lights,

In the golden lights,

Amongst the fig trees,

I find peace.

The lights,

The golden lights,

They wrap me up

With their warmth.

The lights,

The golden lights,

They kiss me,

Making me glow.

In the lights,

In the golden lights,

I find home,

Safe and warm.
