On Sunsets and Loss

Staring stunned at the horizon,
Bathed in your warm red afterglow,
Weighed down by this teary air,
I await the breeze that used to blow.

As I retrace your last rays,
Drink in the splendor of your twilight,
Flashes of your times past, find me
Pining no more for your lost light.

Mistaken in my mortal ways,
I couldn't hold back when we last met,
I disown now the tears I shed,
Looking at your looming sunset.

For this night is not for mourning,
When strewn all around us we find
Memory lanes that lead to you,
Lanes your gardens had once lined.

You shine on where we cannot see,
Beyond Death's singularity,
So let's part till I too can leave
This cycle for eternity.
