Old Man Sunset


He's got a long way to walk, those tired old legs, through the cool dark sand where he stopped and he wept, as a boy all alone and alone once again, birth just like death, time never rests, alone he must be, alone we can see, all alone without you, all alone without me, can't believe that it's happened, the years that have passed, the numbers have risen while strength was surpassed by the past and the present that justifies time, an age that has lasted, crime after crime, the sound of the water, lapping at shores he sits and he ponders the waves he endured, the change of the currents and weather he's seen, the eye of the storm, the calm of the sea, he walks through the sand, sun sets for him only, alone in the dark, a journey so lonely, he wades in the ocean, night fills the sky, a fearless old man, ready to die.............
