Description

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.
