This evening
as the sun drowns in horizon
and dusk melts into night
As the last rays of light
recede like birds
returning home
This evening
brings me a passage
to all the night holds
The dark, the quiet,
the void,
the stillness
The stars coming alive
to perform on the stage
of decked-up firmament
Countless galaxies
outliving the distraction
of yet another day
The blinding flood of light
giving way at once
to the true happening
The nothingness that speaks
from beyond the core
of all there is
All waiting
for me
to perceive
And yet
I choose
to sleep
to wake up
to my puny existence
that continues into
yet another day
to survive
yet another death
as I come home
to my ignorance
this evening.
