I can 
be as
near or
as far
as here
all you 
have to
do is
say c’mere

As we go 
light to dark 
sun to moon 
day to dusk
I am reminded 
that flesh goes 
to dust and 
memories also must 

and as the 
last bit of 
sun sets behind 
the mountains the 
sky explodes with 
one last hurrah 
sending hints skyward 
of tomorrow’s morning 

Nothing to do 
all is done 
now to rest
watch the sun
soon the moon 
will quietly shine 
and the day
itself was fine 

It’s when 
and then 
that where
becomes here
and should 
becomes could
and then 
quietly would 
and still 
it will 
that’s until 

Peace is 
having nothing 
to do 
knowing that 
everything is 
already done
