Lights
Across the fading lights
of earth time,
the rising fall
of sunset blue,
the stars weep
their tears
across the southern skies, dreaming,
singing,
midnight songs,
of yearning,
loss,
farewells,
and goodbyes,
missing the days
and hours,
of you.
For tonight,
your ship
has departed,
with sails full
with moonlight,
and silent,
summer winds,
memories blown
from present,
and future past,
from the last harbors,
the outward tides,
that leaving of home,
and westwards
the journeys end
will bring.
And so at last,
upon the promontory,
beyond
the lighthouse,
the last
of the stepping stones,
to the dawns
of another land,
to waves
and farewells,
to a once
upon this time,
the last goodbyes
until the sea
departs,
forever here,
in silence,
I stand.
