Dusk - Dusk

Are you ever lonely when the sun sets?

There's a beachhead I always sojourn

From day's start to day's end

And when the sun has set

I always feel so lonely, 

Longing, Desiring, that distant shore

Which I may gaze upon but never reach.

It's not there during the day,

I've checked.

It's only there at dusk

When the moon is full in the sky

And the owls hoo in the woods past my house;

It's been a long time since I've had a guest.

You're a traveler aren't you?

I'll have you know the seasons don't change here,

It's always going to be here

The beachhead will always break the waves of endless summer

But I know that the distant shore won't be there forever

It will come and go with the tides of another world,

Borne away on a vast ocean or an endless sea

To lands afar

Come with me to the woods

We'll chop the trees and make a raft

And we'll paddle to that distant shore

Where the pixies gather in their tree-houses

And watch the elves dance by night to the full of the moon

Let's do it while we can,

The winds are starting to blow...
