An Evening Poem
This poem came about after an early evening walk when I contemplated the unexpected death of a
friend, how it often takes us by surprise and the memories that surface.
An Evening Poem
Each step I take
The sun dips lower in the sky
I will return before the light
dives into the western horizon
Purple and pink clouds surround it
giving the sky a painter’s look
I stand and think
about the love you gave
the glowing orb dips a little lower
the clouds grow darker
your light has faded too
The sun slides out of sight
it will come up again tomorrow.
as memories of you also will
