It's Late
I Go Down now cherry red with my day's work
of the day which now is night.
Clouds join me
Our unity scatters red along the skyway to beyond
Taking me with it
As I go further to rest
For another day.
Now my colours scatter too
Lilac, red and pink shades are spread around
To skies which are gone now but will return another day
I am going but not gone in magnitude.
The dark envelopes me now
I do not fight it but welcome its coming
It is my foe but we are friends
Till tomorrow he is King here.
I am left in clouds alone
To take me to viewers high and low
My violet, dark presence still is.
All that is left now
Is peace, dark and stillness.
Don't be sad or have sorrow feelings now
What has been will be again
You will again witness the wonder
When I return in morn skies
And leave you at day's end
To colour your life sky
You will paint me
Will want to picture me on film
Will marvel for those who were not there
They do not see what you did today
You are stronger for its beauty
They have only memories and words
To know me is enough
To understand and admire
Is all you need
For life days.
