Tearful Farewell Of The Sky

The bright light shines beyond this undeserving gaze,
this cascade of gold that stands behind
one unworthy thus turned away.
In glistening eyes, the stars reflect,
that turn their gaze from such day's end.
This night births the stars in their perfect place
and for the new light, this death is burning,
but still, it’s close is not forgotten.
For though tear-filled eyes now look away,
the sky still weeps for such a fate,
and so, covers the young light in its sorrowful clouds.
It bids old light farewell in this moment.
So that it’s drops of rain which fall at the sight of such sad beauty.
May call back with their stolen colours,
of the final light of day.
