Scarlet waves and streaming gold
bleeding against coming cold
as endless blues find their way
across Heaven's end of day

And stars fill the fallen air
where today's sun once shined bare
to fall themselves, out of sight
leaving behind silent night

My thoughts of you take their place
upon clouds of Angel's grace
now darkened by empty's touch
where rain once fed dreams of such

My heart beats in search of you
this silent night, through and through

One's outlook can be another's expression.

now darkened by empty's touch
where rain once fed dreams of such

My heart beats in search of you

you gave me shivers of sadness....
but gracefully done

Your words are so smooth...loved that stanza.
