At the Horizons Edge
At the horizons edge, I see the sun
Setting over the water, when shadows come
And foam turns gold, as the crashing waves run
I see beauty, but there is sadness for some.
A solitary figure standing on the shore
As night descends, and the darkness surrounds
What’s he feeling when he can see no more
When gulls say goodnight, making no more sounds.
Does his soul heal, as the water recedes
Removing the pain of the day now past
Does it bring him comfort, what a soul needs
On a gentle breeze, a peace that will last?
I wonder, what does he feel as he stands
This silhouetted figure on the sands.
