Eternal Sunset

Alone in a sunset, reading the sky;
Salmon waves fall to my eye.
No meaning does it have, however,
because the sky goes on forever.

With you in a sunset, looking above;
Life ripens into peace with the grace of a dove.
Your arms around me; keeping me warm;
Nothing now could do me harm.

Coral shading of the overhead view;
like my heart when I met you.
It shadows the sun as my heart did alike,
and the rosy dusk welcomes the night.

The clouds bulge beyond the sky,
covering the sun as they're drifting by.
Your love blanketed my heart
and I was in love straight from the start.

The beaming rays fall ever so gently
chasing away all that lies violently;
causing a light to dance on the water;
gradually cooling while growing hotter.

A sudden gust of wind blows a breeze,
delicately rocking all of the trees.
All above colors blending together;
truly, our love is this glorious weather.

As the sun fades away and dark grows near,
my heart beats slowly and I tend to fear,
that our love might slip like the eternal sun,
and leave me alone again as one.
