The Setting Sun

By Rupsingh Bhandari

PROMPT—I am grateful for ...

Swaddling by the day’s story

Sun seems writing the conclusion

Bottom of the day with golden pen.

As the tired grandparent sun tucks ways silently

On the same horizon seems smoking loneliness

Painting the sky with its rainbows

Splashes colors and reteach the

The art of dying.

Cold breezes inaugurate their evening rally

Shadows gather to incubate night

The sun withdraws its light

Blankets himself and sinks beyond the skylines

As the homeless begging monk: without any address

Birds and animals reconfirm their

Night to sleep … without any burdens

But,

Humans return home

With the trails of problems

Their sun never set … mysteriously.
