Ask Me Not of Sunset.

Do not come and ask me of sunset,

For I have not seen one,

For I have not been one.

They came and asked:

How about the greying of hair,

The fall of tooth,

The aching of bones,

Is it not sunset?

I answered them loud and clear:

No, it is not sunset,

Because for every strand of grey hair,

Every tooth that fell,

Every aching of the bones,

A new wisdom will come, knocking at our door:

Learn anew, it is dawn again.

The next time they marched and shouted:

How about the faces we forget,

The names we cannot recall,

The memories that fly away,

Is it not sunset?

So I answered them louder and clearer:

No, it is not sunset.

Because for every face, and name,

And memory we lost,

There is always a new song waiting to be sung,

A new poem to be written,

To honour all that have gone by.

They stomped their feet and screamed:

How about those departures of our beloved,

Early evening slumber that feels too early,

The loneliness of the soul,

Is it not sunset?

I smiled and answered:

No, it is not sunset,

For every departure will remind us

To paint a worthwhile legacy,

All loneliness and slumber that feels too early,

Will be wiped away by a morning prayer,

And by a first, small step in the dawn.

Ask me not of sunset,

For I have not seen one,

For I have not been one.
