Still
Beneath the sun there
Is darkness still
Between the embers
There is warmth
Underneath your eyes
There is burden
Before death
There is still time
And between your lips
There is no lies
The birds still chirp
In mourning
The tide still
Sees the shore
Between us
There is nothing
Yet your desire
Has despair in store
Is darkness still
Between the embers
There is warmth
Underneath your eyes
There is burden
Before death
There is still time
And between your lips
There is no lies
The birds still chirp
In mourning
The tide still
Sees the shore
Between us
There is nothing
Yet your desire
Has despair in store

Beautiful, but it left me with a nagging sense of unease. There is indeed usually more to life than meets the eye. Great contrasts.
