Reflecting on his life and on his deeds,
he thinks how like this ending time of day,
his life is mirrored here among the reeds
beneath peach twilight clouds tinged brownish grey.
Yes, like these clouds, his life was peachy when
he started out. But challenges arose.
He couldn’t deal with them, and it was then
this peaceful life of solitude he chose.
Uncomplicated – like a placid lake -
is how he's lived, and with a narrow view.
For no big chances ever did he take
while drifting like a simple small canoe.
As long as there remains day’s last gold light,
he’ll bask until he’s swallowed by black night.
