Late Evening Poem

Of grace, love and goodbyes.


Today the sun set beautifully.
Bright colors of pink
and hues of calm purple
painted my world serene.
There isn’t much I can say anymore;
no words left, no need.
The way the light
reflects in my memories
that is all I need to know.
Tells me everything
in its utter simplicity.
You’ve earned your rest,
like the sun earns the night.
Do you see?
You have nothing to prove to me,
no obligations left to the world.
When it’s time to leave,
just leave.
As I said –it’s what you’ve earned.
