Sunset

Sunset

A warm breeze

Settles cool and crisp

The day is nearly

And

Almost

done

And with the sinking light

Drops a

A sadness

vast

Immense

And

hollow

My white hot pit

And ball of

anger searing 

Soul splitting 

Flames spitting 

Rage

And pain

Burns out 

Your power is no more

You will be no more

Your presence fading 

Blurring, merging, erasing

Alongside the

Rays of the

orange golden sun

Where a cove of hope 

Had formed

By the shore

As the evening draws in

The tide swells

And cool black

Water rushes in

A pool

Begins to form

Where hope had once 

Hidden

small, lost and forlorn

Nesting itself pitifully 

Within a frozen

And a barren 

Watery home

I know 

I must put you 

Away

I

Must 

Put you to rest

So I set to the task 

And set 

You, to 

the sail

I light the torch 

From the dying fire

By the light of

the setting sun

And push you out

Out far

Into the night

Into the waters

Deep

Dark

Vast

Immense 

And

Old

And I wait 

And I watch

And I watch 

And I wait 

And I breathe 

And I breathe 

And I watch

And I wait

Until 

The last breath

Comes 

And is gone

And

Your fate is

sealed

No flames

can be seen

Now

No light

is left

burning

In the set sun 

The darkness is 

Consuming and

complete

You are gone

I am alone

And.

I am free
