Poem
The cadence swells in the starlit sky The light still dwells when night is nigh That one last ray that lingers long Fades with majesty; is gone. One last kiss goodnight One more dawn tonight One more time How can I resist my nature How can I give in to sorrow How can I rejoice Be sure that all that I have felt Will be beautiful tomorrow In time, all fades to gray In time, lost to the wave In time, distilled and saved Salved by the mists of time Perfection comes to time One moment, stretched into eternity One moment, 'fore the day is gone Will last, will linger on my tongue As I see That there is nothing left to say That there is nothing left to do But to observe But to perceive That ray, falling deep into the starlit few Cast into the colors of the night Falling on forever out of sight How? Do I dare to taint the moment? With one thought, my heart is rent Forever from the prism of my tears The night reflects into the ancient years By perfection sent Into eternity By a crystal cry A moment meant in me The thrill of beauty in the wave The sea that swells, the sea that saves The waves that lap against the shore The waves that, depthless, are no more The moon that rises casts a light And in the water is a sight A billion, billion nothings that appear to me the sky A shadow of reality that would but be a lie To see the points of light My eyes rejoice the night But in that shadow, in that plane So phantomed once, I see again And a moment now is shattered Into a thousand fragments at my feet As I see the end in it all Ah, the night will be the night And the sea will be the sea Until the question bears and drowns in me
