Alabaster Sunset, echo of innocence
Light pushed beneath the horizon,
You see what I see?
Cringing where once standing proud?

A hunger to prove worthy,
Innocence hidden in the Leporidian,
Can you see it there?
The literal hidden in metaphor?

Thousands of eyes shout condemnation,
One nervous, another World-weary
Should not happen, will not.

And yet, light is needed
Does the sun hesitate dawning?
But it's light has limits,
Yet surely it must try?

Without sin, I give you
The light you've been denied,
Though some eyes may scorn,

They weep upon being denied,
Two souls falling into shadow.
