A moment in the setting sun


A moment in the setting sun...

Grandpa strolled across with kids,
youngest in a pram, brother and sister beside
fighting, getting bashed for their antics
crying, stopping, showing signs
of fake anger, forgetting and running along..

They fade out in the distance..
As Mr jogger went past
Sweating body, what a shape,
God's gift, well done man,
keeping it prim and proper!

In the distance the sun,
still bright, tired, its time
to set, the clouds smile
ask it to come back home
it was a hard day's work..

at the signal,
there are cars now,
all colors and shine,
black and blue, steel and white

Time ticks,
music strums into the ears,
the lyrics say, "what do i know love,
of sad evenings, it has lit up,
now that i took your name"..

Time ticks,
Get back to work,
get back to living..

What do i know love,
of sad evenings
or this moment in the setting sun?
