Francis J Grasso Poet Quatrain

Sunset

Ghosts that fade thru empty years;
Ghosts that stretch the heart;
Ghosts that leave a trail of tears
And tear a world apart.

Shadows pale into the past
As sunlight dies its daily deaths.
The Sun slips below the earth's cold breast
Then shines once more with no regrets.
