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.
