Watch the Sun Go Down

By Roya Khorshid
April-Sept. 1999

To sit and watch the sun go down,
Feeling dispirited,
Another day has ended,
Another leaf has fallen from
The tree of life,
In next to no time,
I will be no more.

To sit and watch the sun go down,
Feeling mystified,
Melancholic,
Or at ease perhaps,
Another line added to the masterpiece,
Composed of lights and darks
By and by,
I may perhaps be gone.

To sit and watch the sun go down,
Feeling absolute,
Perchance, complete.
Another chapter written,
Another goal achieved,
Another impediment overcome.
I prophesies a new beginning,
A new day,
Another reason to sit and watch the sun go down.
