When the Day Finally Sits Down

All rights reserved by the author

Evenings are honest.
They don’t pretend.
By now, the day has shown its cards.
Some plans worked. Some didn’t.
Some words were spoken better in the head than out loud.
I like this hour because nothing demands excellence anymore.
Only presence.
A cup of tea tastes truer.
Conversations slow down.
Thoughts stop racing and start walking.
If today didn’t go your way, don’t carry it into the night like luggage.
Set it down.
Tomorrow will decide what’s worth picking up again.
For now, rest your mind.
It has travelled enough.
