Even after all this time, the Sun never says to the Earth,
Hafiz
“You owe me.”
Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights up the whole sky.
In the West
as the sun sets in the sea,
my heart settles
a smoldering ember
flickering in the ash
Seagulls ascend into the twilight
The dimly shaded veil
protecting and guiding
their flight
The farewell songs fade
in the distance
and I am reminded
of the peaceful melody
in my own
The sun has taken
it’s final breath
The moon has risen from behind
the shadows
Dusk is upon us
The balmy air is still
and our words hang
between the stars
glowing like fireflies
in
the
night
sky
