The Evening Star

The evening star
Beautiful! Is it close, or somewhat far?
Providing perspectives to our present selves—
To tomorrow and the events in between;
Our travels into spaces—forgotten or unseen
During similar journeys into the night
Till the birth of a new day of light.

Remembering glories of the dawn that has passed
The joy-filled morning, the challenges and struggles of the noon
The onset of eve and its guests—the evening star and the moon!
Lets talk of loves that we cherish and express, even those that we treasure
And hold secret in our heart: Life gives in full measure
Take it one sip at a time, savour each moment of the bitter,
Each moment of the sweet—the show is forever on
And there is much, much more where it all came from.

Look up: there's that evening star
Beautiful! It looks close. Yet somewhat far!
