The sky in the west slowly puts on a fresh array of colors

Which are held for him by a row of ancient trees;

You watch: and the two worlds steal away from you;

One passes to heaven, the other falling;

Leaving you not really belonging to either

Not so hushed and empty as a darkened house;

Not obsessed with the eternal like the stars which climb-

Leaving you (beyond words and unable to unwind) your life

Shaken and awed by its vastness, unraveling

So that, now limited, but once morе grasping

Your life moves between both stonе and star
