twilight
Language: English
remember
firelight fades and darkness drapes its years around
eyes grown dim and shadows lingering in dusk
remember
now alone but memories rise and softly lead
to the one whose solemn sorrows never fade
remember
to a dream that soared and spent itself in skies
so distant now and hidden far amid the stars
remember
and as the mist of mourning disappears
do not fear
for love repays the tender heart that can
remember
