Tytuł: In the falling dark

And the lights lie tumbled out like gems
   the moon is nothing but a toothless grin
   floating out on the evening wind
   the smell of sweat and lube oil pervades the night
   and the rush of life in flight at the speed of light
  
   a million footsteps whispering
   a guitar sounds -- some voices sing
   smoke on the breeze -- eyes that sting
   far in the east a yellow cloud bank climbs
   stretching away to be part of tomorrow's time.
  
   earthbound while everything expands
   so many grains of sand
   slipping from hand to hand
   catching the light and falling into dark
   the world fades out like an overheard remark
   in the falling dark.
  
   light pours from a million radiant lives
   off of kids and dogs and the hard-shelled husbands and wives
   all that glory shining around and we're all caught taking a dive
   and all the beasts of the hills around shout, "such a waste!
   don't you know that from the first to the last we're all one in the gift of Grace!"
