# The Day's Sunset

The sun has given into encroaching  
Night, at last relieving me of the light  
A stillness, my love, is fast approaching.  
  
The earth has swallowed the revealing sun,  
Its stomach churning deep with the star's might,  
For you, my love, all that's left for this one.  
  
Now I know my morning will never come,  
Friends evaporating into the seas,  
Gone from memory as soon as they'd come.  
But you, my love, stay as long as the trees.  
  
Doves cry not for my absence, they just sing  
Of the coming day, one you will not want  
But one that must be, for not one mere thing  
Can escape time the way I know you want.
