John Lawless Poet Verse

The Sun Sets

The sun sets
Rolling sluggishly
In the exiting tide

There is a joy to it
Frolicking in the froth
Of soap suds surf

We play our parts
In the evening reverie
Dancing alone

Shadows
Carried away
Like rolling stones

Distant bells
Peal
In soft darkness

I walk away
Leaving
My presence
