Twilight's Gate

Twilight’s Gate

Echoes of the past

Fade away at last

Dreams left undreamed

Mem’ries left unmemed

Yesterdays undone

And words just leave me searching for a pun

Heroes die, Mothers cry

And sorrow is soon forgotten
Sunlight falls and moonlight calls
Then tomorrow is soon begotten

Lullabies and sunset birdsong

I’m waiting here to be with the unseen
Shadows dance in twilight treetops
The night cloak falls, I watch with senses keen

Images of sound

Mix of sky and ground

Stones left unturned

Lessons left unlearned

Bodies in the fields

And song is the power that he wields

Pharaohs fade, heroes jade

And after today tomorrow
Sunlight dies at moonlight rise
And laughter assuages sorrow

Lullabies and sunset birdsong

I’m waiting here to be with the unseen
Shadows dance in twilight treetops
The night cloak falls, I watch with senses keen
