dusk arising

for Julie-Ann

for Julie-Anne

though we no longer talk
cant mean that I dont want to
hear your spoken words
the voice so often heard

and knowing how i cared
lyrics which we once shared
changes that we knew
written here, just for you

of treasure found then lost
a candle burned too brightly
a wind of sanity
took away from me

but in the light of day
things are as they should be now
though early hours that call
dont find me standing tall

and nothing finds the place
doors so firmly closed in me
no love,  no warmth, no hand,
just passing of the sand

so maybe i\'m the fool
but I dont really think so
everybody has their past
so few who make it last

inside us everyone
is longing for the glory
we drank from lovings cup
then failed to measure up

but theres no turning back
I know for me it couldnt be
but you\'ll always be a part
of what I long for in my heart
