Out of the Corner of My Eye
 

I
 

The sky will turn the corner soon
The day that was is done
The sun set at 5:41
To rise at 6:18
At the other end of the day
But for now anyway
The sun is in the in between
Has gone but is not gone
Through the ups and downs of it
The meaning of the light goes on
Though going on unseen

Knowing this until 6:18
Believing in the sun
I will look forward to the moon
Until 1:29
When soon it risingly will be
Surprising to be seen
The meaning of the moon to shine
Between us what we mean
Through the ups and downs to let
The meaning of the light come dawn
Tonight through the unseen

When dawn is not so far away
But in the in between
 

II
 

The folly of my youth
Becomes the wisdom of my age
Because I learned the truth
Of love from my apprentice mage
We used to call you then
But we know who the mage has been
The magic was your own

You taught me everything I knew
That you had always known
Believing in your magic to
Make me believe it too
The magical reality
Of us as we alone
Through all these years of you and me

Franziska it was you
 

III
 

February is when
The month ends three days early then
March before I know it
Out of the corner of my eye
The hope I tend to get
Around the corner of the sky
The sun may shine on me
Reminding me what I forgot

But I remember now
From all the days when it did not
In February how
It was until March entered in
But now it has somehow
Winter seems more like what has been
Than what I hope I see
Out of the corner of my eye

March bringing spring to be
Around the corner of the sky

But, Steven! Did the moon and the sun bless you with their light? You certainly deserve them to!

Love ya!

The sun and the moon are known to shower magic to those we love. I hope you get a share of this magic too.
