The view is forever from here
I sit on my favorite bench, and watch the
sunset.
Contemplate the day, and the events of life
passed.
The inscription on the bench is "the view is
forever from here".
A light breeze dances through my soul, as
does the words.
I get up to leave, and I notice a man we
speak "hello".
"It's a great sunset tonite", I say then
this is the best spot.
He replies "I know, the view is forever from
here".
I used to sit here with my wife, when she
was alive.
He says he don't have many sunsets left,
catch them when I can. I shall, as I close my eyes.
