Alone, I Stand

I sit admist the empty night
 And listen to the empty wind.
 No moonlight shines that could offend.
 No shadows cast by faint starlight.

One by one, they guttered out
 And silent downward drifts the snow.
 As passed the years they left no doubt
 That there are countless years to go.

All passed now, the race of man
 Earth still as when first began
 Cities sleep and wake no more
 Long since gone the works of yore.

Can you count the grains of sand
 That gather at the shore?
 I’ve a day to count each one
 My years are longer than the sun
 Endless time which to explore
 And in the end, alone, I stand.

This poem was inspired by conversation with the Revered [[David Blanchett]].
