Eventide

The sun sets. 
I'm meditating with myself. 
Silence now replaces 
the hectic craze of the day. 
I celebrate the change. 
 
A flag droops limply. 
It remembers, perhaps, when 
it fluttered like a dagger in the heat. 
 
My soul weary form slumps on a seat 
and considers the ongoing tension 
that seems to be the mark of existing. 
 
From the window comes the 
night sounds, eager to begin. 
While overhead a daring moon 
removes the sunshine trauma. 
 
I surrender now. 
I'm finished. 
It's been a day, and a day again. 
A ton of living to fill one up forever. 
 
Tomorrow it might be just the same. 
No matter. 
The sun sets. 
I'm meditating with myself.
