Vermilion

Blinding lights glow like a horizon singed
All the opulence that gold did bring.
A voiceless symphony flows with the river
The silent whispers drift on forever.

Long grey shadows cast upon the water,
Bend and break with it's laughter.
A thousand hues meld with the azure skies,
As the sun closes its vermilion eyes.

Upon the old bridge standing together,
In the dying light, glowing forever.
Words of love and words of wonder,
That time shall never sunder.

The wind sails to the ends of the world,
Whispering forever, stories untold.
For the final home of a wandering heart lies,
Within those soft vermilion eyes.
