Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Like Somewhere Else

Evening approaches
we speculate
     about the 
darkness
   The dying sun
filters its way
  into our hearts
Even as we feel 
  the warmth
  we realize it 
is impermenant
  Yes, we speculate 
how to find
 the lasting
     amidst the 
dying embers of 
the day
    Everything seems 
to be in motion
   Yet our eyes 
and spirits are 
tiring
   As you watch 
the sun sink 
  You come to the realization that
   it will be replaced in the 
     sky by the moon
   don't ask 
too many questions
   just accept 
the changes
    A little speculation 
is perhaps alright
  but the real 
  story is not in 
  our conscious, 
  thinking mind 
Rather it lies 
  deep in the 
  depths of the 
unconscious
And in the world 
  of dreams
     All the 
differences make 
the night seem 
    like it was 
formed somewhere 
     else
        the twinkling 
stars
form a crown in the sky
as sunlight 
   leaves us 
  we speak little
and are encased
   in shadow
