Ron Sexsmith Man At The Gate
The man at the gate
Seems to be waiting
For someone or something
To enter the scene
The man at the gate
Appears in the distance
To prove his existence
In 1913
With the man at the gate
There is no way of knowing
If he's coming or going
He's caught in between
The man at the gate
It appears at a distance
Could use some assistance
In 1913
His silhouette has been captured unknowingly
Trapped in a postcard for all eternity
This photograph from the turn of the century
Snapped by a photog at a moment in history
The man at the gate
Stands like a statue
Not somebody that you
Would notice it seems
The man at the gate
He was living and well once
At Trinity Bellwoods
In 1913
