Goodbye at Sunset

When parting at sunset

            Separate roads we go.

            Lives never to be met

            On any road we know.

            Tallying under moon glow,

            Totaling our final sum.

            We gave less than we owe, but

            All our earning’s done

            When parting at sunset

Pulling shut             the last gate

            With the last look we get

            At this time and this date

Our setting sun won’t wait

When it’s time we should die

Chiron’s boat shan’t be late

You shall go                                                                                                            So shall I

When parting at sunset what will fading be like?

            Do you feel?             Do you fret?

Do you burst like a dike?

Or like a wheel-less bike

STAND

            In one place turning pedals with all your might?

            Is parting cold            Or burning?

Let’s hope when daytime’s done

(Despite odds opposing the bet)

There are new roads to run

When goodbying at sunset

When parting,            

 Separate lives

      On any road.

            

            Tallying,         

            Totaling,           

            We gave less than all.            

      

          At sunset

                  Roads We go.

                 Never to be met

                      We know

                      Under moon glow.

                      Our final sum we owe,

                      But our earning’s done.
