Some Sunset Somewhere

Free-Verse Poetry

My body aches
And the sound of voices from so long ago echoes in my ears
Smiles no longer bearing faces
Faces no longer bearing smiles

At times
I want to crumble
To fall back to the earth and in time be swept away by a passing breeze
Each and every cell and molecule dispersed from one another
To be lifted into the sky that they might at least be a part of some sunset somewhere

But I know
That this will pass
With time
Just as each day ends
With a sunset
Somewhere

    1. Some of the most beautiful sunsets I have seen are the result of large quantities of airborne particles, often smog or other pollution, filtering light just at the horizon. There are many times where I am able to relate, where I feel like some of my most poignant memories are like clouds of dust from my past through which the light filters and illuminates.

    1. Thank you, Adi. I am well, most days. I struggle at times, but in the end, I am able to find myself and see beauty. It has been a long year, and I have much to reflect on and process, both good and bad.

      How are you? I do hope you are also well.
