When Some Day Becomes Night

[SilverRose]

It happens to everyone, so I've heard

and lately have seen much proof

the days drawing shorter, nearing a close

the calendar with fewer and fewer pages.

I have no concern for childish fantasies

age-old myth or comfort-dreams

only the preservation As I Am

until the final flame.

Do not plant me in this ground

foreign, cold to my senses

where there's been no seeds to my life

nor any truth of living-

Take instead As I Am

with only one fear remaining

that when some day becomes the night

with nothing left but longing

My thought will be of the many years

full, yet somehow lacking

the one essential golden thread

its absence clear to no one but me.
