Silent Sundown (The Last Vigil)

Vertaalde weergawe van Stilswyende Sonsak Silent Sundown (Last Vigil) – AJ du Toit © The sunset bleeds against the wall White light cracks with bloodshot falls Another day exhales its breath Time stands still and tastes of death The room is thick with medicine air Counting heartbeats, counting prayer And in the fading amber glow The final light won’t let me go Tomorrow laughs outside this door But it don’t live here anymore We crawl… we walk… Through gracious hope and fevered talk We crawl… we stand… With trembling bones and open hands The body breaks, the spirit calls The light stands trial above us all Silent sundown, don’t let go — Stay a little longer in your glow From quiet tears to rattled breath From steady stride to shadowed step The spine bends low, the shoulders yield Every scar becomes revealed The early sun still finds my face But thunder gathers in my chest Golden edges, darkened sky Every breath a borrowed try Coins of strength fall from my hand I wasn’t built to understand We crawl… we walk… Now, through shrinking skin and ticking clocks We crawl… we stand… One more sunrise wasn’t planned The body aches, the daylight stalls The light stands trial above us all Silent sundown, burning slow — Tell me what I need to know A raindrop hits the dusted ground For one brief second, colours sound Mercy flickers, then it’s gone But somehow still — we carry on Not land, not name, not gold, not fame Just courage passed from flame to flame The same old road, the same front door The crossbeam carved in every floor We crawl… we walk… Through sacred pain and midnight dark We crawl… we rise… With failing breath and open eyes The day lets go, the shadows fall The light stands silent over all Silent sundown, soft and low — It’s alright now… You can go.
