The In Withering Dawn

Horizon dwells in pale light
Of tomorrow inviolable embrace
Deep into the night 
I fall following the fading grace
Of moonlit gold sparkling beyond
Glowing with starlit memory untold
Fire moon rose above the shadows
Guiding us astray across the meadows
Still hidden beneath the sight of lone eyes
Lost deep in a whisper of eastern wind lullaby
Calling back a memory
Of life and dreams I’ve told

As I see you in withering dawn

It grows within
The desire of heart 
Lingers still in your light
Between fire and flame where I dance 
I see your smile within starlit eyes
Hoping for a moment of life
When you share with me all your dark
Burning still in your heart 
While sundown breathes upon twilit sky
Calling back a memory
Of life and dreams I’ve told

As I see you in withering dawn

It grows within
The desire of heart 
Lingers still in your light
Deep in sweet spring bloom cascading still on me
You painted my world into a dream
I shared once with you dwelling in a bliss of eternal feel
