Sunset's Edge At every lovely sunset's edge When silence fills the air I simply close my eyes once more To see you standing there The way you looked so long ago When you were here with me In day's fading shadow light It's only you I see So let the daylight fade to dusk Let day succumb to night If only for this one brief moment I drown in your sweet light The sun will fade, Today will end Tomorrow will come fast But let me live just one more night Buried in our past I will face the brand new day I'll let you go tomorrow But tonight, as golden sunset nears Be with me in my sorrow ------------------ "When you come to the edge of the light which is all you know. And are about to step off into the darkness that is unknown...Faith is knowing one of two things will happen...there will be something to stand on...or you will learn how to fly." -Unknown |

One of the best things about a sunset is that you can turn right around and see a brand new sunrise......  |

As sleepless nights prevail you tell so well my tale as the dawn comes to greet me reflection of love is what I see HUGS ------------------ Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream... |
