Sunset

When I walk to view a sunset 

I am walking to my peace 

to stand before the water 

that flows to quiet me 


The heaviness of any loss

and all such suffering 

is buried within each step 

It is accepted and released 


The birds take off to the sky

with each burden of mine carrying

while showing me freedom

and hope holding beneath each wing 

The sun goes down lovely 

colors in patterns full of harmony 

Each time my breathe is taken away 

and it enters my heart to refill it with beauty 


The stars coming out one by one 

They are shining in greeting 

We are not alone, only look at them!

More appear. We have company! 


The moon in all its shapes 

suspended and admired, consistently 

Reminding me of growing things

like my faith, wisdom, and firm belief 


When I walk to view the sunset 

I am walking to my peace 

to stand before the water 

that flows to quiet me 


I am humbled 

and I am listening
