After Sundown

Waiting for evening

For after sundown

For dark lights

Star lights

Some strong sense of passing

Waiting.

Watching the sun cross over

Watching the sun pass by

Watching the sun fall

Fall closer to you

And where you dream

Remembering smells

Of you on your pillow

After sundown

Remembering to remember

Forgetting to forget

After sundown

Somewhere out east

Behind me

Under night shadow

Such scenes ache

To hold on to time

Rhythms hard shaking

Of mine as yours

And nothing mine

All

After sundown

But waiting hurts

Morning sun burns

That steam of shadow

Till after sundown.
