Crepuscule

Melancholy unfolds
In time, this cross glow
I walked through grief spells
Drawing from these old wells

And the sky stretched out before me
And upside down, ignoring
The wind, it pointed toward me
Away from all abhorring

Ivory laden
Old growth, shaded
Old rose, sharp thorns
I hold them in my arms

This mourning lives in everyone who has lost someone
Aurora in lightning, the living and the dying

Blessed is the timing
For all of these pryings
Fawning, caving, crying
The trigger and denying

Time won’t stop woes
Unearthed, they only show
Morphing, through pained blows
My love for you only grows

Crepuscule, the rising, the living and the trying
Aurora in lightning, the giving and the dying
Crepuscule, the chasing, all that is aging
The melting and unveiling, memory engraving
