Evening arrives without instruction.
By then, the effort of the day has already been spent.
This is the hour when voices soften.
When we stop explaining ourselves.
Old memories sit beside us quietly —
not to disturb, just to be acknowledged.
Evening is honest because it doesn’t demand energy.
It allows tiredness. It allows truth.
Nothing needs fixing tonight.
Not the past. Not tomorrow.
Just sit.
Let the day close its own door.
