Overseas

At the dawn of the dusk
Before the land has tasted
The bitterness of the dark,
And still delight
Between the ages of the
Punishing heat of the sun
And the dreary lonliness
Of the stars' song
The grey clouds streak long
Into the deep red
Of the setting sun
And beyond
As grand as the shadows
Now cast
Beyond the seas
A chilling hint of sacrifice
And tales of long-lost
Paradise of youth
Spent upon the sand
And spilt into the earth
Overseas
