SUNSET (Collaborative pastoral workshop) (Stan & Rula)
In a rocker near the sliding door
he stares outside this winter's day
not saying what he's looking for.
Look closely, his eyes are far away.
For they are focused in the past
and forests where he used to roam
or streams on which he used to cast
far from this retirement home
The rocking went on, forth and back
as the sun set and rose again
while in his heart he kept a track
of spaces he'd escaped his pain.
