Complacent

Sunsets enjoyed from my backporch have always defined good moments of my life, and tonight was a recollection and awknowledgement of those special transitions: A book, a cigarette, a cold beer, and the slowly sinking colors of the day bathing this quiet, tranquil space in peaceful changing actualization. No matter how many times I've reveled in this sensation I still connect and reflect and absorb anew the moving-shadow imagery of our planet's rotation...and the sensory presentation of the concept of time.

I sat out back and watched the gentle swaying of the trees and bushes, heard the scampering of birds and squirrels as they slowed the day's activities, noted the coming-home sounds of the neighbors resound and fade off like the churn of the distant roadway traffic, and let my eyes gradually react to the diminishing light of this day's color spectrum amid a restful disattachment from my usual cares, worries, and emotions.
