twilight

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
