Into The Night
the light's final hour plays in your eyes
how before night to summarize this delight?

a part of it lies in our daily surprise at the late afternoon
each day's demise so sudden so soon
the way the moons wobble
the way the time flies

maybe it's just that the sky's fading light
still stirs in your eyes long into the night

or maybe it lies in our unmoving indifference
to those things our worlds will approve or despise

maybe it's just that the sky's fading light
still stirs in your eyes long into the night

or in a gesture so subtle no self could devise it
and touched by its heat that another reply
and by its own giving be made to complete

or maybe it's just that the sky's fading light
still stirs in your eyes
long into the night
