Eventide slowly falls
Under the stars
That blink and fool
Night becomes my shelter
In this lonesome solitude
Call to me
With your song
Ever promising

Dawn slowly rises
Into my wanting heart
Another waiting chance
For my salvation
Another life
Of nothing and everything
Time flows me by
Ever taunting

Present slowly comes
Enfolding and unfolding
Dawn and dusk
In a circle neverending
Rising and falling
Eternally, so shall I go
Onwards and seeing
