Shadows Of Sunset

Why it seems so far now? The distance I have traversed, Easily, casually, routinely, Year in and year out, Now appears like a chasm That's so difficult to cross, An end so hard to wander off And impossible to reach! Why it seems so far now? Your heart from that of mine, The voyage that was so frequent Reaching, touching and feeling you, Now appears like an abstraction That's so difficult to imagine, A gulf such terribly vast That even my dreams can't span! Why it seems so far now? The path that I have traversed Appears frustratingly incomprehensible, Things so familiar not making sense, Replaced by a void from deep inside That puzzles at every known thing, Love becomes a dark alley Where I'm doomed never to find my way!
