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 John G.
