Black Piece

I fear I'll write a black piece; shining on the dew,
Mellowed without color, textured without hue,
A time appears where no one feels the absence of the night.

To title it, to render it, the praiser opens lies,
It covers but a scant response, as much it loosely pries.
And the silent breath of twilight are but hollow distant stars.

A lifetime of ambition, not a moment of regret,
For this is not our lifetime, but a lifetime we'll forget.
