My daughter's fear is - that my nights are lengthening - 
And mine for her is - that her twilight is approaching - 
And - as is her wont - she is again postponing -
The autumn inevitable - until new winter's beginning -

When and where our journeys will part and separate -
Mine will begin  - with my strengthening accepting fate -
Faithful to the healing light - beyond the incarnate -
Hers will commence - with her acceptance - heart innate

Never for her a twilight without end.
