    the setting sun

    as i stare into the failing light,
    a glimpse of the place where day meets night,
    hard to focus, cant adjust my sight,
    it seems a metaphor of life.

    the setting sun begins to fade,
    reflecting on the promises I've made,
    through lifes troubled waters I've had to wade,
    i ran away when i should've stayed.

    darkness starts to cover the land,
    i sit alone, no-one to hold my hand,
    the hour glass spills its final sand,
    sits alone, this broken man.

    the glimmering stars,so bright and clear,
    so beautiful,it almost brings a tear,
    what tomorrow brings is always unclear,
    but i must face it and show no fear.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
