The sunset comes with its comforting glow,
closing gentle leaves like a book we've come to know
that we're glad to have experienced,
yet sorry to see it go -
Slipping slowly away like the sipping of tea
its passion apparent by its great entreaty;
for the sunset really doesn't fall,
instead it serves to give us call
to gather thoughts and loved ones near,
to stop the striving and just be here.
Take time for each subtle nuance it casts
and savor the moment, while it lasts.
