Tis Eventide
When waning setting sun descends,
doth fullest golden moon arise.
Imaginings take starry flight,
with moonglow dreams of lovers dawn.

So here in these imagined dreams,
a Sonata of the heart is sung,
to one who knows not how he's loved.
Secretly in Eventide, I can tell him so.

Tis then a kiss, combined of tears,
that flow of joy at last as one.

For these two in their middle days,
have now just found soulmate true,
and know a love as not before.

Pray God this dream may soon arise,
as Eventides sweet song becomes,
a duet Sonata sung as one.


A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

awww was sorry when I came to the end, I wanted more lovely piece.

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

Ellie, this is indeed beautiful, as I have already told you. Promise I'll get in here and do more soon. Miss you guys, too.

Oh Ellie, sigh, this is beautiful.

I may know the truth but not face it
I may hear a sound a whisper sacred and profound
but turn my head indifferent.
