Dusk

See my hand is moving,

Touching all that's real.

And once it stroked love's body,

Now it claws the past.

The scent of a flower,

The colours of the morning.

Friends to believe in,

Tears soon forgotten.

See how the rain drives away, another day.

If a leaf has fallen,

Does the tree lie broken?

And if we draw some water,

Does the well run dry?

The sigh of a mother,

The screaming of lovers.

Like two angry tigers,

They tear at each other.

See how for him, lifetime's fears disappear.

Once a Jesus suffered,

Heaven could not see him.

And now my ship is sinking,

the captain stands alone.

A pawn on a chessboard,

A false move by God will now destroy me,

But wait, on the horizon,

A new dawn seems to be rising,

Never to recall this passerby, born to die.
