| Nocturne in Black and Gold- The Falling Rocket |
This Falling Night
To drive away the misery of this falling night
when light is gone too soon and voices wane
I cast a desperate net towards dwindling light
to capture the memory of words I once profaned:
"Sweet dove with gently beating heart, my dear
Your soft caress is all I need to know
and the despairing thoughts that bring forth fear
are fast diminished by your loving soul.
I'll love you through the long, dark winters night
and then I'll love you back around again
Our touch and bated breath will stall the lessening light
with songs of truth that seem to know no end"-
Sing softly those sweet words into my ear...
Please tell them to me one more time, again
Convince me of the words I need to hear
That by our love the darkness we will fend!
(And that true love, despite the world, won't end!)
Love Jill
