Morning's mist begets the song
The winged chorus of the dawn
When horizon bleeds morning light
A new longing that all be right
And undivided.
Evening comes and daylight fades
And long grow the lines of shade
Horizon bleeds its fading light
The red hues will fade to night
And quietness.
Life ever continues in circling days
Like carrion birds whose only prey
Are creatures whose life is beaten back
Whose bones will whiten with the lack
Of fleshly life.
Youth and passion's embers wane
And love is lost when it is sane
Then age begins to take its hold
And death sculpts life into its mould
Of formlessness.
The embrace of love withholds this tide
The kiss of lovers that can abide
Side by side in life and death
Holding fast to every breath
