Sunset

Oh look at the sun, it's all a-glow Slow burning star, sinking low Heaven knows where you go Out of sight, out of minds eye, no Aw such a shame, you must leave All day long you were a friend to me Still, the moon's company Until morning when larks will sing Horizon's appointment you'll keep For sun swept flamingos must sleep Scenes like these from my dreams Cover cutting-room floors all over Warm heart we spin slowly from view Why are you sad, do you disapprove? How we've wasted our time Sunset, end of my day, my decline Postscript you trace colors the sky Red-letter light fades, is filed away Sunburst fingers you raise One last sigh of farewell, goodbye
