Anu Joshy - As A Sun Sets

A sun sets beyond the horizon,
As I stand and watch his rays
drowning in the sea,
I can feel the sand slowly sweeping away
beneath my own feet……

Time has come and flown by,
Washing away the words we wrote in sand,
knowing that the waves will come one day
and take them away,
And our sandcastles have grown cracks,
With time, we’ll watch them crumble too
And mix with eternity,
for new hands to come, to build new castles
The many dreams we shared,
will be the kites drenched in water,
No more able to soar high……………

For many decades did we spend
this life here, together
Now, as I stand and watch you set,
All your bright rays fading off,
Dissolving into the heart of this ocean,
I can feel,
my own sands draining away from beneath,
Maybe, to another sunset…………….
