in the fierce
afternoon glow
sun disappears
behind a hill
across water
beyond reach
earth's rotation in
perpetual rhythm
fiery sky reveals
brightest colors
blazing disc wanes
becomes mere sliver
without warning
meter unwinds
cadence is broken
unmeasured sadness
gift of next sunrise
taken for granted
stunned to learn
you are gone
hardest goodbye is
one left unsaid
no time to relate
what matters most
now you are
behind a hill
across water
beyond reach
crowd gathers on the shore
speaking words of hope
towards the vast and
infinite ocean
believing sound travels
crossing the distance

You hear
how much
You are loved
how much
You are missed
