some vacant being

indeterminate in the paling light

regarded the horizon like some crepuscular specimen

escaped altogether from reality

he cast a beggarly figure dressed in rags like some banished King

his future once bright was now dismal as a tragedian

from the verses of the Bard

the Gods were nowhere to be found in his strange universe

he waited for the dawn and died in the night alone as a star

he answered to the name of Man

    1. It could be interpreted that way for sure Marek, I had not thought of that, more a generic comment on existence really. It was a bit too bleak to publish I fear but the fates can be merciless and fickle.
