As the light fades
Here at sunset...

An open gate
One that leads to a secret place...

The children play
Ever so quietly...

I awoke
From a fitful night...

It's quiet here
Under the mid day sun...

Faces in the shadows
People smirking...

You know
These days...

All the time
We spend alone together...

It just breaks my heart
To see children cry...

Dark is the night
Soft and warm...

As daybreak comes
It slides in...

I stand here
In the early morning...
