Solace

Still is the day that marries the shade As eternal night descends Long is the eve that holds no reprieve From a torment without end Beneath a starlit sky, a faint and doleful sigh No wind to carry it beyond this empty realm The light was all but gone when sang this mournful song But not a soul in sight could hear this verse of overwhelming grief Still is the night that holds no respite As the hours turn to years Long is the day undying and grey Where the sun has disappeared "In each of these eyes Lay the answer But time left them blind So now I wander" In the absence of light Where time has lost its place A labyrinth of broken dreams A token of her grace As the fallen leaves Return to paint the path Her final resting place Will shimmer with the stars
