DarkPoetry -|- Echoes of Orpheus -|- Of Sunsets and Shadows

Of Sunsets and Shadows

He dreamed of sunrises
Like dawning hopes
That had long ago set

He wished to let her see
That the sun she sent away
Illuminated not only herself

He dreamed of sunsets
Like dying hopes
That cast his heart in shadow

The first stanza is my favourite, but not by much. This is an absolutely beautiful piece, and a fav. -Trigger
