The sunset is different here
It makes me feel like I am lost
Maybe that is the point
Like a North Star pointing me to forget all that I lost
This quiet grief becoming a familiar face
Another sunset too soon
My heart searching for the long summer days
Change your environment, change your life
Finding myself in this foreign place
I miss back home but even that seems different
The longer I am away nothing is the same
A stranger in the wind on the way to a destination unknown
All that I have known stripped away
Like flesh from bone
Dare I lift my eyes to see another grey sky
God help me, show me the reason why
I keep thinking of King David in the scriptures
“ I had fainted unless, I believed to see the goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living!”
My sense of security resides in but mere hopeful wishes
Prayers to the sky, the orange light fading on me
Dare I ask to see the sunrise, don’t let my dreams die
Forgive my weak faith a heart torn
by expected disappointments
I clutch my heart as my eyes scan for a hint of gold
Oh to have a glorious sunrise upon this valley
Cast away this darkness that clings to my soul
The sunset is different here and yet another chapter unfolds
