The Last Ride

He grew up as the sunset became an illusion

By the same coast that had nurtured it forever;

The water still crimson yellow, sand as white

As the people enjoying the evergreen tides,

Everything was the same, as a frozen frame

Except that the Sun wasn't magic anymore -

Riding the curves of a fateful Sunset

The sour truth had dawned on the day.


He sat by the shore, lost in its silver ripples

Of what lay ahead in a dark, descending night

With punctured vision he gazed up at the stars

Cold sand reminded him of the one pending ride.

Opposite winds, as usual, and wheels in motion

 Armed with the piercing beacon of conviction

He rode towards the Sun, into the perfect Night

Away from the pull; a broken, free kite.
