Softened Edges

The day loosens its grip Colors soften Edges blur kindly Nothing asks to continue Past its time ⸻ You don’t have to keep the sun up It knows when to leave The sky doesn’t resist change It changes beautifully Windows glow softer now Voices lower naturally Even thoughts Stop trying so hard I don’t chase unfinished things Evening teaches enoughness Without words ⸻ They fear endings Because they confuse them With loss But dusk Is transition done gently ⸻ Let the evening come Without resistance Without one more attempt To control the light Let the evening come The sky knows how To close a day Without breaking it You don’t have to hold What already happened Just breathe And let it dim ⸻ Mistakes look softer at sunset Not erased Just forgiven by distance The day doesn’t demand perfection Only participation And you were here That counts Streetlights wake slowly The world exhales As if relieved To stop performing ⸻ They rush toward tomorrow I stay with the fading light Because closure Deserves attention too ⸻ Let the evening come No unfinished fear No borrowed urgency No pressure left awake Let the evening come Like calm entering a room Not dramatic Just certain You survived this day The sky noticed ⸻ One final glow Across the horizon Not trying to stay Just saying goodbye Properly And somehow That feels holy ⸻ Night isn’t punishment It’s recovery A quieter form Of care I don’t fear the dark anymore I’ve seen how gently The sky hands the world To rest This is wisdom At the end of the day Nothing forced Nothing withheld ⸻ Let the evening come Still warm Still open Still kind Let the evening come No final answer needed Some things heal By being allowed to end Take the calm Into the night The sky will stay nearby ⸻ The last light fades Without regret And the evening arrives Exactly on time ⸻
