One Fading Light They Somehow Share

Cumulonimbi bloom against bronze skies,
Their amber fingers reaching, yet they spare
The trembling grass that quivers in the air,
And cast long shadows where my thoughts still lie.
For dusk and night, though born as foes, rely
Upon one fading light they somehow share
So too my heart, though burdened by despair
Clings to your name no reason can deny
Yet still you come, unwanted in my mind
To walk the trails where silent dreams remain
Where echoes of a love I never speak
Stir ashes I believed I’d left behind.
Devotion left unanswered in its ache,
Yet living on, though hope itself has died.
