The Night Has Rushed In

The night has rushed in
By your leave, my Lady
And her SweetSea
EyeGreen will rise in her eyes
And kiss that dark sky
One long last time
And then that night shall rush in
I looked up to the Sweet Star
Sad as dusk she smiles
And she told me--"the night soon oh--listen...
Soon the night shall rush in...
Even the birds sing of night now"
I looked up then and Star was shot
Bowed and golden dust rings in her wake
That sun clouded in sparrows
Came for us, and the Moon
Closed her eyes again, and waved her hands goodbye
By her leave, I left through the broken door

Your photograph is bright open before me
And you smile beautiful castle
In the fields the poppies reach high as spires
Beyond the Moon you wore as Shield
And under that night rushing in
Swooping in dreaming of a new sea
Over in the street that leads from here to you
The fog is glowing with faces I have known
Down the road, down the way, in the dark
And into dawn, where paths swoop like hares
Your face as rich as pearls
Drew footprints onto Summer Queens
Glorious and graceful as they leap

If you turn around
And spell what you see
The ending of the end
BrightFire behind
BrightFire before
In the tiny twilight
As fine as moss and FingerSweet
I see your eyes dance like moths
All around you the Soft Stars fall
And whisper "the night has rushed in
For you and for me"
