That dark, that mysterious reaching into the night
On the tip of a breath so faint it may bare no life
And I stood at once where we all had been that Summer now done and away
And silent
And radiant
And endlessly my veins pumping histr'y into a Martian sea still too vast to escape
And as often as I would ask where Love goes when it dies
There is only light that flickers and fades and sings of children we will never know
I remember words built of a different tongue, and upon stranger tides than face me now
And somewhere now in time and space and arms not mine to know
There is all the wondrous heat of a dying star spilling life into your sweet and sunken faraway eyes
I will work and climb and pray and eat and dream and find you when we are all stars again
And we alone are the suns that we now bend to
And we have long forgotten such warmth once cast at all
