I’ve breathed in deep the somber glow of slivered, setting sun,
I’ve frozen through the morning hue of day that’s just begun.
I’ve trodden under crowns of gold as autumn lulls the weald to sleep,
I’ve flown to mountain tall to leave my heart atop its peak.

Though joyous are your undertones, sorrow you instill,
Of what, I ask, the reason then, behind this airy thrill?
Your aura sparks a war in me which fights for my control,
What stirrings you instill becomes the aether of my soul.

You are hello. You are goodbye. The journey in-between.
You are the fire in the dark where moonlight fails to gleam.
The warmth of family, Halloween, cinnamon-apple tea,
You are what was and what may come, and all my memory.

In you resides a promised land where feet may never travel,
The whispers of a parting love as life and mind unravels.
In this farewell you offer hope, your poison has a cure,
as every day gives way to night, the sun will rise once more.
