the hem of sunset
He seemed a lonely man
Not alone
Yet lonely
Not seeking companionship
Yet never really alone.
At times
It seemed
People gravitated
Toward his orbit
Circled
Pondering
His presence
Questioning
Its necessity.
He drifted
Through a universe
Unknown
To those who thought
Themselves
The center
Of theirs.
He took the hand
Of sunrise
Walked with it
Through the day
And of an evening
He touched
The hem of sunset.
