The dawn will rise soon
And the morn will sing
Over these green pastures
And dew ladened spring

Though dawn has come
With it, the sun will rise
Chasing shadows like children
And playing tag with joyous cries

Its raining now, spring's first storm
Droplets of tomorrow melting away
Leaving this moment untouched
Leaving this second unscathed

Though it rains defiantly
The sun still casts its light
Noon smiles and paints the horizon
With quiet reds taking flight

So beautiful is the eve now
With its own palette to create
The pastures outside are patient
With haulted breath, they await

And so now does the day wane
Bringing night's first dream
Casually, as if but a mere thought
Quieting the children into sleep

A breeze blows crisply across the meadows
Whispering along pastures and lonely roads
The night has come, my love
Let us take to the heavens and go home

Though we stay a moment longer
Basking beneath the light of the moon
Born here in this moment, we stand
For we know it will end soon.
