Image: Venice, A November Evening
in the Lagoon (1859) (here)
back to their homes wondering
What have I achieved?
Mirror like glassy expanse
Tranquility of evening
Accorded to those blessed
Dusk transforms to a
darkened stupor to welcome
a night of conscience
The wayward seek peace of night
with hopes they are blessed nearer
towards nirvana
A November night to cleanse
To check out a clean slate
Stepping out into an uncertain 2023
