"A Slow Fade To Silence"

a quiet decline to a solemn night,
the rear view mirror remains bright,
the sun is setting in falling red,
my sunglasses stay on my head.

my hands are worn, my hair is white,
I can't hear, but I remember all right,
I look old but I feel born again,
to the twilight I reply, "Amen."

all around me slowly fades,
the reel of tape grows thin with age,
now begins what never was,
but it'll never be the end of love.

Wow. I absolutely love this. It kind of reminds me of the ending of some movies, where the main character has been watching his whole life on a hand cranked film projector (and then his death is implied). Except... this has a much warmer feel. The last line, especially, carries a lot of hope in it. Well done.
