Time runs along
distilling the familiar
until a faint taste upon our lips

Running to our western windows
we catch final glimpses
of all we held near

Nodding our head
knowing these days would come
we put on our jacket

The past has run cold
closeness is far
and we strain to see its embers

But now it returns?
since longed long enough
it all came back!

But no, it's different
changed
unfamiliar

For beams
in eastern skies
fracture the horizon

And what we see
only clearly reflected
is that the dead buried their own

But turning we see light
growing from lifeless earth
nourished from yesterday

Stepping into the unfamiliar
we feel the warmth on our face
and remember that life not always sets

And the cycle continues
challenging us to remember
that this we've been told before

And knowing that tonight life will descend
and dusk will silence what dawn revived
we resolve to remember that the sun, it also rises
