[hometext] => I saw an old man, he didn't look too happy and I wondered what had happened in his life. I transferred him to my favourite place - the beach - and this is what came out..
[bodytext] => Sunset red where are you now
If the sun sinks will it take my past with it. I pray it won't rise in the morning. This beach has pure sand That would have meant something to me once, I would have happily walked it with you And not spared a glance at the old man Sitting alone and forlorn on the high dune. The smell of the sunlit sea air would once have moved me But now I am dry It does not register But even still The pages go backwards against my will Always back to you. Even now in twilight as my sun sets there is you. I look down I see your dress blowing against your legs Framing the outline of an angel in my midst. I see the footprints you have left And even then in my youth I ache for their perfection Their presence next to mine. I look up... do I dare For in my mind I see the presence of magnificence there. The lilting song of your laughter I see it tumble from those perfect sharp teeth And even though it is an echo heard down all the years It still brings a tear. Sunset red where are you now I hear the waves breaking on the shore I still fell you beside me It would be a lie if I said it didn't hurt any more. The sound of your voice I hear its echoes And the sight of you still remains. I see you laughing and still feel your embrace I wait here on the high dune For one day you will walk with me again Or if the sunset finally claims me At least it will be an end to this pain.
