One Night's Eternity

A wakeful sleep,
The dark is right,
For one night's eternity
Death holds no warmth,
My breath is spent,
In one night's eternity

Sight is feeling,
What fight's worth fighting,
For one night's eternity,
Light sears life,
The life not lived,
Only one night for eternity

Alone, uninvited,
The water wholly burning,
And one night's eternity,
The anger like a brush,
Paints the features bold and crude,
Every night's eternity

Wood, final death,
To death cometh the dead,
All night's eternity,
Ashes we are,
And to ashes we must turn,
This one night is eternity
