Gossip
Starring off into the abyss at sunset
It appears to me like this frail old man is sat just waiting for god
Natures garden provides an aesthetic bespoken waiting room
Warmth on thy face complimented by a tickling soft breeze
Colored green views surround his companion the park bench
Health constitutes wealth when your running versus a clock
It strikes me what was their before becomes ever harder to ignore
Civilizations past worshiped our sun dreamed tales set with in her gardens
Ages abound the salt, soil, farmed, mined underground trampled beneath ones feet
Stare, taste, enjoy, love, grow and feast knowing the knowledge
Time cannot wait the sun inevitably has to set
In the end its solely down to you to decide
Choose you a life of regret or a peaceful nights sleep come sunset
