The dusk line paints the sky again
A border between where we've been
Ginkgo leaves veil the wooden swing
Creaking east as they sway and cling
A new maple leaf on the bough
Dancing details the wind allows
Does the breeze feel this tender now
Or just crave sunset's fiery show
Veiling its world in twilight's flow
I hear your voice in the east wind's sigh
Mixed with sea air drifting by
Finally catching this fragile cry
Piecing dreams from thoughts that fly
Let me greet horizons new and high
Twilight melts where sea meets shore
Waves stitch silver threads once more
Roses shed petals soft and light
Silence weaves mist-fences in night
Maples roll worries into scrolls
Tides translate unspoken goals
Gulls bring bills faded by time's hand
Sealed with calls from a distant land
A thousand words in one command
I hear your voice in the east wind's sigh
Mixed with sea air drifting by
Finally catching this fragile cry
Piecing dreams from thoughts that fly
Let me greet horizons new and high
Can tides be measured true
Do new roses count years too
I crave sun-warmed lines on my palm
Yet save snow's frozen calm
Let ice bury every why
Make lost roads mark endless sky
Tides push answers to dawn's gate
I find your letter in the cloud's fold
Words like birds in migration bold
Sorting hopes the trade winds hold
Moonlight creased to a promise told
Let me sink in blue ocean's hold
Your voice once calmed my inner tide
Your reply was the lighthouse guide
Toward the dusk line I glide
Salvaging echoes trapped inside
That warmth like sunrise undenied
