As The Sun Fades Away

                                    A sun sinks low to a dark,red sky
                      and as the broad horizon turns to midnight blue
                                                 I am saddened.
                                     My eyes tear strong as the sea
                         whose crashing waves cannot dare sound
                        like the drops that fall from my doubt-filled face
                        and find their fate upon the weathered earth.
                                 As the moon replaces the fiery sun.....
                            it asks me why I am crying with its glow.
                                     I look to it,clutching angry fists
                    to reply that a friend has crossed to another shore.
                                  and as I lower my eyes to my feet
                    that same moon offers its silvery light to everything,
                   with stars coming out from their cloud cloaked beds
                            to join the moon and I in quiet mourning.
