THE LIGHT | Chuck Schiele Love Letters 2026
Written by ©Chuck Schiele

I got the news on Mother’s Day
In-between the lines there was something else to say
A train rolled in like a thief on a cold steel rail
And without much detail
A long, slow exhale
Abandonecd paper trail
The distant song of a nightengale
Hey! Take me to the light
Hey! Take me to the light
Can you feel it burning like a smile through the night
Hey! Take me to the light

Something changes every day
In-between the pages the bookmark gives it all away
A train rolls out under the stealth of a near-new moon
Just beyond the dunes
Oasis in full-bloom
New phase of the moon
The distance whispers Clara de Luna
Hey! Take me to the light
Hey! Take me to the light
Can you hear it calling like a child in the night
Hey! Take me to the light

Miracles of yesterday
Shifting winds have closed the book and blown it all away
A train derails and goes missing in the unforeseen delay
Unscheduled retrograde
Cut-and-run castaway
A silhouette fades away
One last wave and I'm on my way
Hey! Take me to the light
Hey! Take me to the light
Turning inside-out, unteathered, tumbling though the night
Hey! Take me to the light
Hey! Take me to the light
Hey! Take me to the light
Hey! Take me to the light
Awwwwwwhhhn Take me to the light
I want to go
