Essence of You

Why can we meet in the golden shade of dawn
Only then and in the dusk, and if I promise to stay young?
And why can’t you sing — you are silent in the sun?
And the sapphire sky
Should not be wearisome
And soon, you will see that the road is rough and long
When we stand upon the cusp of
A song yet to be sung
With broken soul and heartache, bear this in mind
We’ll meet a final time
On a frozen summer’s night
