Somber colors of sunset
Brush strokes - fading out the day
Taking me into dusk
As I regret the coming twilight

The fading light of my day
Is being replaced by sunset colors
My day light is diminished
By the setting of the sun
Twilight comes so subtle
When my day is finally done

Daylight fades like memories do
In the twilight of the day
As sunset paints in brilliant splendor
Barely time to enjoy .......
               ..........Before it's all wiped away
Replaced by the menacing night
That's been amassing all around me
Shrouding me in a cloak of gray
And blocking out who I used to be
