Poems of the Deep Dark Heart

Watching Beneath The Sunset

While waiting for the end of the day

I watch quietly on the sand where I lay

The calm wind gently touches my skin

I look out patiently beyond the horizon with a grin

And there it was, like an unknown goddess

Descending from the sky with such hidden distress

But still covered with its beautiful colors of light

So I pull my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them tight

It was like a very surreal moment of time

Just like a perfectly sparkling handful of dime

Until the bright sun waves her last goodbye

I can see the light slowly fades away as I deeply sigh

And again, I set myself for another day, tomorrow

As I step up to reach the high lands and find my way home

Getting the idea that I’m on my own again and alone

While time passes, I close my eyes, and when I open them, it was morrow…
