Farewells of Weary Days

I do not write of sunsets,

Those farewells of weary days.

 

I will not speak again of forests

Or golden sunlit glades.

 

I have said my piece on oceans.

Brokered peace among the flame.

 

I have walked many an idyllic garden

To find each flower's scent the same.

 

At times the grass appears the greener,

A feature of how light strikes the blade.

 

The sabre seems as great a teacher

In the sunshine as the shade.

 

So I shall write again no more of sunsets

Those farewells of weary days.

 

I lay down arms against the evening.

 

To the dreaming

 

I cast my gaze.
