Sunrise Up Close Tommy Stone

I would close my eyes
one last time my wish
for the last sight to say farewell
is but a sunrise to know
the world will go on
sweet fire and water
as the moon drowns in a chill lake
her pale sorrow buried
in tree shadow
the edge of dark slipping
further away
as sun takes her place
warming my skin
the soft glow through
closing lids
as I say goodnight
to the morning
