Sunset
Listen to poem:
Sunset
We held hands for a while
There were no goodbyes
But I linger on thoughts
Of your twinkling eyes
Many a sky
And many a vista
Have been placed onto canvas
By the Earth's loving sister
Knitted jumpers
For kids who you never would meet
The twiddle-mitt queen
Your compassion complete
Trusting nature was always
Your truth and your way
Scotland's highlands the place..
Guess you'll be there today
So as sunset arrives
The most beautiful sky
Is a prelude to memories
Of the day that's flown by
There's a blindfold
To night that is rarely unveiled
Like a mystery cruise
On a ship that has sailed
As the sun dips behind
The still water of years
All the hugs and the smiles
Through the laughter and tears
Will linger in hearts
That are full as can be
For we'll miss you. Goodbye.
But we're glad you're now free.

"Let my doing nothing when I have nothing to do be untroubled in the depth of peace like the evening in the seashore when the water is silent."
