Sunset to Sunrise

for Teddy and Darlene in the morning

Having lingered in the land of eclipse
In that shadowed place where time is running
Where history tried and failed to forget

Your course is set for the crack of dawn where
Mind takes flight beyond animal cunning
Where mystery outfascinates regret

You grow to know when you have gotten there
What evolution revolving (and yet
Expecting better) will dare you to bear

Evolving revolving leaving to stay
Tomorrow will rise as yesterday set
Mirrored the wrong way cleared for the long way

The strong way in which the strongest were met
Taking the chance at the point of the lance
Where mystery outfascinates regret

You toss and turn and turning toss today
To turn east with my last laugh on your lips

+Steven Curtis Lance
