RESURRECTION FROM NIGHT

RESURRECTION FROM NIGHT
Early 88

There you are quite out of sight
Out beyond my stretching reach
Are you where I’ll never touch you?
Will I just stand here short of speech?

Silhouette on the horizon
Shadows distant day by day
As the light dims on tomorrow
So the shadow grows on today

Piercing glimpse of some new dream
But it comes as no surprise
When the sun dies, there are moonbeams
But she won’t show me her eyes

And then again, and then just maybe
Hope isn’t chained to setting suns
Because when night dies, resurrection
And a new god has begun
