Sun’s Eclipse

This the golden hour
In advance of sun’s eclipse

I am with you
Hand in hand
Follow every laboured breath
A life of laughter, love and kindness shared
With wordless gaze and poignant smile

A tear
A sigh
A tightened grasp

Then return to fitful rest
A slumber which will last the night

But I’ll be here when you awake
In golden hour
Your hand I’ll take
Until at last
Your sun may set
