Lightsetting

11/30/03

This comfortable, cozy day will end
as the rest, slipping away;
just as the light falls into the earth
the memories will be written
in wisps of fading dreams

hopes cast aside in a parting smile
the fickle touch
desires drawn down in the silence
the turn of the dusty eye

understand, the moon will rise
with stars obscured – in the darkness,
a soothing caress on the hearts
of those with only gossamer threads
of love

but the moon sets, leaving us always
with nothing but faint whispers
echoing from the morning star
