civil twilight // letters from the sky

This day grows dim. Dark is the ground we walk upon.

This ever changing sky. This horizon gently faded.

Black is the night.

(Yet dawn will arise)

Love Divine

Please shine

And lift this sinking soul of mine

Love Divine

In your sweet light

I’ll dance into the dying night

MIST

Early in the morning, before the sun rises

I gather myself above the path of gravel

Before the day brings forth surprises

Before weary men begin to travel

There i wait for her, in stillness of air

Held up by love and hopes despair

And even though she walks right through me

She will walk as if i am not there

With deep breathe of lungs she will breath me in

And feel my coolness on her pale skin

For a brief moment in time, i will surround her there

I will soak into her clothes and into her hair

But she will pass and and so will i

as morning sun divides the sky

And i will linger there as long as i can

Bathing in the memory of the one who passed through my hand

As the sun climbs, i’ll have no choice but to melt away

and reappear above that road

at the beginning of another lonely day
