I'll start.

Old One

While sitting on a mountain
And looking to the west
With evening sunset glowing
On dew upon your chest
The chilling breezes touch your skin
The fear is gone away
You've made your peace and done your lot
The darkness falls to stay
You look into the stars once more
To say your final prayer
Nature gives the incense
To lift it from your heart
There are no more regrets
You never even knew it when you left

River flow

As I sit and watch the river flow
I wonder where my life will go
And as I watch the clouds go by
I wonder if they ever die
And still I watch the seasons pass
From winter cold to summer grass
And when the light of reason fails
I cry
