Sunset at Sabbath

Sunset at Sabbath
by Whitney R. Simpson

Patience, I hear as I sit
This happens every day
Why do I rarely pay attention?
​
Memories of sunsets 
My mind meditates on the beauty
Thoughts frustrated by the clouds

A deep breath runs through me
Then a chill shivers down my spine
Does it always take this long?

Come back, again
Recenter - heart and mind 
Savor the magnificence of creation 

The sun is sinking 
Another day is done 
The earth rests and so shall I
​
Our sun sets daily
Sabbath is a gift I long for 
​Patience, I hear as I sit
