At Sunset

while light fades memory

reminds me there once

was a dawn

when I kissed her

time touches erodes this 

beauty inspires me

twilight gleams

while light fades in the West

monks chant nuns pray

what once was written

takes me onward

one page a day

love’s debt still unpaid

overdue

an appropriate sum

sixpence I'll throw at the moon
