Death at Dawn

He waited

and the silence filled his ears

like the cry of angry gods

and the truth fought lies

that ate ravenously at his soul

 

He listened

and heard for the last time

the kiss of waves upon the shore

and the birds greeting the dawn

 

He died

as a tear rolled down

his swollen face

reflecting the suns first rays

as it brought life to the land

was this written for someone? it is a sad poem that is touching. I wanted to know more about him in his last moments of life.
