Raj Arumugam - this evening, dearest moon

this evening, O gentle moon,
this evening you
preside over calm, dearest moon;
you bring quiet
and sweetness in the cool air;
and the trees rise to kiss you
and the sun sets like a dying soldier
in the arms of his love;
this evening you bring stillness
and contentment
and end of thought and conflict
and you bring
seeing of things as they are

Raj Arumugam
