As the Sun Goes Down

A.M. Morgan
As the Sun Goes Down,

The night begins to fall

The wind blows

A sea of tears pounds the pavement originating from the cries of a tattered soul

The sound of the bass resonates in someone's voice,

Telling the story of life, love and heartbreak

Fears are revealed because there is no longer the human desire to conceal them

Through puffs of smoke,

You can seen the remnants of something that once stood on solid ground

Someone falls asleep and prays to God their soul to keep

How quickly a smile can turn into a frown and from there enters:

The Fragile heart

Idle Mind

Need for Immediate Gratification

Search for Validation

Qwest for truth in popular syndication

With nonjudgmental words and a sincere heart

This is what I can see

As the Sun Goes down

    It's amazing what you can see when no one else is around. The night provides that experience and I think you did a great job of capturing that. Cheers.
