Transient Light

transient light begins to fade from the winter sky i reach up with all my strength but i cannot hold back the failing daylight cannot cease its awkward stumbling into night but as its last vestiges slip away a song comes to my heart its words inked in my very soul all the joys and true beauty of togetherness shared that all of these loves iv know and nurtured have not been in vain that as i stand alone in the gathering shadows i will never really be alone for there are hearts out there who still cherish me i am not forgotten a rich tapestry of images my heart brings back to me the smiling faces of the people in my world who have shared warmth and love with me are with me always, forever tonight i may sail a dark sea but i am anchored in the safe haven of another's heart's dream so as the transient light fades from the sky i have no fear i have only love
