Sunset

I have seen the white waves' tears
Falling like the world's regret
Still seeming as though all the years
Were but one beautiful sunset

Ah, I have seen the sea
And I have felt those tears
The tainted, tepid beauty of the years

And I have seen the sun
As I have known the night
The end to what is one within the light

Still have I seen the raindrops' sight
Diffracting into crimson shade
Then evanescing through the night
As life begins to fade
