In Hope of Dawn

breathing our first in twilight as the daylight quit the fight - newborn eyes saw a final sunset - a dying hope of felicity - and we shed tears though we knew not why - mourning the end of the last day into darkness we turned away - living the life of the blind for want of light by which to see - waiting for a dawn that may never be - in darkness we met - a companion to walk alongside me - loves emissary and a promise of light - together we walk t'ward the dawn that none have yet seen save in dreams - I hold your hand and it is warm - 'till that day  dawn ever I'll be - content in your company
