Sunsets
For Elizabeth
In
silence as the sun descends to sea,
Like
sirens song
And
sorrow's longing lingers far too long
To
break your brow,
To
sting the soul that muted long ago
Still
sings to halls of none.
In
silence that has steadfast forged in me
The
absent roots
Which
bore the fruit-lings ever present here
To
hail rejoice,
To
dance for life that crippled long ago
And
partners only one.
In
silence that is broken,
In
silence that is spoken,
In
silence that is shattered
Is
where you most have mattered.
And
now I offer sunsets.
The
sunsets of your silence lost,
Your
silence lost,
Your
silence lost.
