John Gilman Poet Rhyme

Sunset For One

 it's quiet on the lake right now
sun sliding down from it's perch
as I watch with mixed feelings
from a pew in nature's church

enjoying the paint splashed sky
reflected across water's mirror
content smile crinkling my face
for a moment thoughts clearer

before memories drop blinders
overtop my respite briefly won
causing me to bitterly inquire
of what interest
is a sunset
for one?
