have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
lonely as ever
visible at night, useless by day?
in sync with its partner next door
for a quick kiss over a few flashes only
then arguing again and again
night in, night out.
have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
not signaling a warning to keep away
but sending a call for compassion?
using the dark pauses in between
to yell the same name
over and over and over
into the emptiness of each night.
have you ever felt like
the flashing red light on the roof,
being your silent cry
only heard by your eternal love?

death, humanity, strength,
As it sets, the sun streaks the sky
Cornucopia of festive ribbons on high
Emerald green, deep pink, aquamarine
Heavenly canvas, blazing scene
Scant moments later, it's pale overhead
Sunset vanished, its pigment bled...
An earthly candle tapering down
Flickers weakly toward the ground
When of a sudden its wan flame ignites
A last burst of glory, surging bright
Ere it collapses, a waxen pool
Its fuel all spent; its demise so cruel...
So too, as our precious days slip away
We sense the time has come to pay
Our final call on this Earthly stage
We turn back time for one last grand stand
Then hail the carriage of Death's Coachman

bird, death, sea, sunset,
in the depths of my mind
i still see you there
you aged with grace
like the flight of swan
on the horizon
of amethyst skies
as they blend crimson
beneath the setting sun
i saw your wings fold
falling silent against your chest
as you took your last whispered breath
beneath the featherless shadows of time
leaving me alone
stranded on the sands
that death robs
when the hourglass
of time stops
i still count the grains
washed upon the shores
as the ocean lashes back
in salted sprays
upon my sunken face
i look back
as my footsteps fade
beneath the rhythm
of its calmer waves
realizing i stand alone
breathless in the expansion
of mind's hold

death, memory, pain, sunset,
idyllic fake smile, an empath death holds
a supine body twisted in the folds
lamenting memories seep through the pain
where incidental weakness falls like rain
ten fold the weeping willow tree's own bane
veneration seeps with crimson tinged night
as her aura blends with the fading light

it's not the sun that rises each morning
it's my mind setting into the light;
it's not the sun that sets each evening
it's her soul rising onto the night.

body, death, god, heaven,
Whoosh! Like a gust of wind uplifting me,
there's no sad sunset that I see.
Above earth, I'm rising and flying free!
Just for a moment there, the lights flickered out.
But now, bright dazzling sunlight and colors
scatter and flash all over, around and about.
Like a big billowing balloon, I rise and I soar,
floating above earth, and out of life's door.
Up, up, past the clouds, where my loved ones are.
Angels surround me, and heaven's not far.
If this is a dream, don't wake me up, please,
because back into my body would be an impossible squeeze.
This flight I am taking with God holding my hand,
is but a short breath, before I hear heavens welcoming band.

dusk’s curtain ends
a bird’s melody
what of your legacy
tick tock amends
near the sum of days
are you still in old ways
for what transcends
your last setting sun
have you left it undone

age, allegory, creation, death, history, mythology, vacation,
There was an old sort of people that once took to the beach
These old sort lived the beach and waited for the sunset
They were old as time itself for they never aged
They were of the beach and the beach was of them
They watched every sunset from time began
It was there eyes that made the sunset come and it was there sleep that brought about the night
They forever watched and always kept everyday holy
One day it was late and they were waiting for the sunset
It did not come and they wept
They disappeared into the night and were never seen again

Sunset Tableau
She had been taken
suddenly, too soon
no tears, or sadness
all else just faded
in golden aura
signaling good-bye.

farewell, freedom, grief, light, loss, memory, sunset,
When the lights fade from my eyes
or my thoughts no longer linger
within my conscious mind,
should it appear as if you see within me
no sunrise nor no sunset,
when all the memories I forget
or breath has left me fatally bereft,
do not cry or shed a tear
know my spirit still resides here,
like a glowing a orb of light
watching over you day and night,
for as energy I am eternal,
so don't be sad and do not grieve
for I embark on a different journey,
my spirit alive, my soul is free
and though I shall fade, I will live long in dreams.

august, bereavement, blessing, death, grandparents, journey, thank you,
T'was the saddest time of the year
When one is resting, one oh so dear
Yearning for the presence that once was there
Reminiscing that white silky hair
But time will pass and time will heal
The heartaches and the pain we feel
Though none ever help but wonder
Where he journeyed in that deep slumber
The thrill, excitement and adventurous ride
In crossing that great divide
Then death would be a blessing
To whose heart is strong
The day the sunset mourns a mirthful song

age, death, identity, life, light, old, wisdom,
Measure me son, for the man I was.
My sunset has come, and the man to dust.
If I had the time, I would light your day.
But even the brightest can fade away.
I leave you now, the colors of end,
the beauty of death and a day well spent.
The darkness will come, don't be afraid,
as your light will shine, and then it will fade.
A world cannot live on light alone.
A man has a future and then he is old.
Show your warmth and touching rays,
and be remembered as the brightest of days.

death, life,
The sunset of life has many hues
Your family, friends and neighbors
You have no regrets; you’ve paid your dues
Completed a life time of labors
The light grows dim, slowly fades away
Those that are closest are near
No longer in this world must you stay
You face what’s next without fear
Your passage into another world
A pleasure you should savor
Those gone before now are unfurled
Old family, friends, and neighbors
From that sunset on the other side
Springs an eternal sunrise
Again with loved ones you will abide
God’s love for you never dies

Winter sun
On the coast of death
White coffins
In the bay
Hoisting sail for unknown seas
As darkness descends

Categories:
death, sunset,
DO NOT GO GENTLE
Rays of darkness thread their way
Across the ragged empyrean:
A web of desperation in the twilight
As the dread veil is pulled tighter.
The solitude of stitched blackness
Across the worn-out sky
Is pierced by tiny holes
Where tomorrow’s light still filters.

Categories:
beauty, death, nature, seasons, star, sunset,
Where ancient waves dried to give land,
Eyes swim in seas of sparkling sand;
Through forests robbed of verdant glow,
Trees blaze with autumn’s red and gold;
From the icy deep lava climbs a mile,
To sleep above and birth a virgin isle;
In farthest space a lone star decays,
Detonates in bursts of diamond rays;
But there's nothing that so takes our breath,
Than the rich sun in its daily death.
