Heavily he walks
Burdened by memories and years
Time no longer a friend
Wearied by the life he’s led
Now drawing to its twilight
He sits, bent by experiences
Once the days were boundless
Stretching far into the sightless sky
And dreams were all before him
On he drifted through the years
Gaining wisdom and cares
Approaching the sunset
Now he sees it
Ever closer he watches it come
He is ready and he waits
Life has lined his face
Given his eyes boundless depth
Enough reasons to laugh and cry
The sun is nearly set now
Shadows play across the wall
He sits and sighs
Smiling, he sits
Burdens eased for a time
Time elapsing slowly
Now he waits for night
For the time beyond the sunset
He knows the best is yet to come
For a time his cares are gone
His burdens lightened
He watches and smiles as twilight sets in
