'TIS TWILIGHT YET AGAIN

'TIS TWILIGHT YET AGAIN

A few more breaths

And I'll be gone.

Rest my soul till then.

Sow the seeds

That at dawn shall sprout

And blossom into fruition green.

Life's tale's lost

In fading dreams,

In golden hues that hide.

The dark night spreads

On the drifting eve

And in the vault high up

Shine a billion stars

That tell their tale

Of distant dreams

Whose poets are dead

But their lines remain

In optic beams

That swell through space

And bring home to us

Their griefs so green,

Their joyous songs,

Their deeds divine

Of yesteryears

That have sunk in time

But live on for us

In waves of light,

In dawn's delight.

They have died there

But live on for us

In beating hearts,

In the soft murmer

Of the silent soul

That feels the pulse

Of distant kins,

Dead to time

And yet alive.

So shall I

In silent song

Pass away in a dream.

The embers dead,

Ashes sprayed,

The scented breeze shall carry

Till the dead morrow

Shall bury the dead

And a morn born new

From the dewy dawn

Shall send the beams

To a remote realm,

Away, away, far up in space

Where memories shall reach.

Here on earth

Time will flow

To bury and burn, brother Time.

Our world's far bigger

Than meets the eye,

Far deeper, deeper

Than the widow's sigh.

Our life's not lost

In a springtime gone,

It lives on and on

Unto a distant dawn.

Our dusty path

Is strewn in space,

It marks our way

Till it fades in grace.

But the sunlit beams

They nurse our songs

And spread the tunes

Where love belongs.

The night is up

And dawn's at hand,

My soul shall soar,

My breath shall stand.

Adieu, adieu, my earthly mates,

I drift in peace through freedom's gates.
