AT SUNSET
My days may be gone
though the years were burdensome
with the heart aches
and the heartbreaks
the body pains
and the mental slowdowns
the near successes
and successful failures.
But I accept them
an indication I lived life
yes I have been here
you loved me
when I pleased you
hated me when I was just me
a man of conviction
a man of reflection
a man of vision and hope
arousing citizenry pledges
In states of containment
From small boredom
to grandiose inertia
lionizing the dark knight.
while yet I lived
feeling the morning dew
entangled into many passions
obviously doing no harm
with a dose of harmony
enormous grace and poise
chasing the crying voices
of angels
avoiding the melodious voices
of demons
I was me and I gave you
all that was me
I might have not been
profound enough
I might not have been
refined to your status
but I felt the morning dew
I walked the night skies
and stretched out my hand
to feel you
to touch you
to love you
to bring you warmth
Even my silliness
eased your soul
and lighten your burden
as I leave you yet
with the gift of laughter
in my memory
laugh on me
make a joke on me
I am at peace
for eternally i rest.
