{An Anonymous Evening}

The light fades at the edge of the horizon, clinging to the expanse of
sky as if it does not want to leave. Soft hues bathe my vision, as
my mind swings in a peaceful hammock, rocked by the last
rays of the day; may calm and ease be yours this night,
the birch leaves quietly whisper as they strike up the
evening lullaby. The wind disrobes my heavy
thoughts, and wipes them away along with
the worries I have worn like wrinkled
garments. Now, on this tender
summer night I may at last
lay my tired head and
heavy heart to rest,
as the blanket of
sky gently
covers
me.
