The Sun Sets Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

The Sun Sets

Rating: 5.0


The sun marching across the sky
The air silent, brooding
The leaves all sleeping
Their mid-afternoon sleep

A few more years
A few more years
And then to vanish
Like smoke in the air

The attachments slowly peeling away
Like dried bark of a tree
Like dried layers of an onion
As the soul prepares to rise

Light, lighter, lighter
Bright, brighter, brighter
Till it resembles in its whole
The purest rays of the sun
