The Trail of the Dying Sun

The trail of the dying sun
told me of your tears
and the west wind
brought me your name

The river spoke
of all our fears
the ocean
felt the same

The earth waits to receive your bones
and your spirit be cradled by sky
all we are is dust and thought
dust and thought until we die

Such an introspective write and it flowed beautifully, in my opinion--seems like you haven't written here in years though...thanks for the beautiful words--nikko :)
