dailybell: Sunset poem on my 70th - Evangel King

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

Sunset poem on my 70th - Evangel King

April 26, 2020. Sunset 7:55 PM.
Berkeley, CA.

Sunset poem on my 70th
This very afternoon
In the heart of bloom
Comes

The sweetest desire
So secret
The garden

6 feet apart
No touch
All honored

We dance
Spinning
Each heart’s desire
As one

This very sunset
Ringing out
Day for Night’s
Stealthy return

Earth our home
Spinning
Brings Day
Brings Sunset
Brings Night
Brings Sunrise
Again, again, again …
-Evangel King
