Farewell
At lengths afar upon thought and night
My affliction lingers upon stars of height
It slowly shatters upon the stars aglow
Slowly they dim begotten from my woe
Night of dark, you now darken silhouette
I now shall await my anguish and regret
A pilgrim of patience in vain I reach
For ago has gone and tomorrow I beseech
Night! Night, how long shall thee stay,
Until the sun brightens anew another day?
I shall sleep, it said, for I shan’t withstand
The pain bestowed by the bare palm of hand
Shall the joy and passion of mine ebb with thee?
Or shall they descend your clouds for me?
I shall awaken, it said, a day afar
Holding your joy in the rays of star
Farewell…
