Than Any Dawn Could Guess

I'm in love with the way 
the sun says to us goodbye.
In violent gentle rending rays.
I never knew the day
had been so grand
until I say its ending shades.
an ariel pink, a blue, 
a gaudy grey. 
and writhes of ever rising mist.
the rained drenched earth
the red drenched sky, a
sinking, sighing in the West. 
a screaming parting longing,
that promises far more 
than any dawn
could ever guess.
my heart is far too heavy 
with this splendor 
not to rise,
and promise in return,
for i'm in love with the way
the sun says to us goodbye.
