The Final Goodbye

Watching the sun reminds me of you
It reminds me that you are just as fleeting
just as elusive
here for a day then gone

watching the sun set
the glory of its last red rays
playing against clouds
creating beauty and fire untold

Images that remind me of our time
The beauty of the moment enthralling
The burning red of our passion
Lighting more than mere clouds

Like every sunset our time fades
slowly what was bright turns orange
From orange darkness falls
so we are turning to shadow

I pray as with the new dawn
the coming of the new day
Once again we will shine
brightening the world around

To this end I whisper gently
Just as the dragon cannot be grasped
and only the flame felt
This is my final goodbye

The last time I turn to you
The last time our lights will create glory
The last time to be the same
In hopes of a bright dawn
