Quiet evening closes in
Light gathers into lamplit circles
Sky outside exudes its final magic
Trees recede serenely into shadows
All the ranging efforts of the day return
Pool their energy into the center
Strong internal processors now softly burn
assimilating what the day has meant
Each time of holding up the light
has played its part
Each act of empathy
imprinted in your heart
will bring its fruits
in surer shining of the truth
to satisfy your soul and bring rebirth
and serve as affirmation of your worth.
