I’m sitting watching the sun disappear
Over the seen, across the sea in
The Marvellous, glorious scene
Captures the soul, unseen
Beautifying saline
Unending. Serene
Mesmerising
Gone the heat
The Night
Near

Author's Note: This is a rewrite of an older poem I published (link below). I think this one (sunset in contrast) is better, but I originally wrote this for a competition in a different website so couldn't post it until now (it didn't place).
About the Creator
Mo Darasi
I write fiction, poetry and occasional articles about interesting topics.
Finding interesting ways to write a poem or hide messages within them seems to be my main interesting in writing now, and it's been fun
The Architecture of Return
Returning is not a single moment. It is a construction process, slow and deliberate, built from the inside out. After the storms, after the altitude, after the cost, you find yourself standing in the quiet aftermath with nothing but the truth you’ve earned and the pieces of a life that no longer fits. This is where the real work begins—not in rising, not in surviving, but in building something that can hold you without requiring your disappearance.

Center Stage with Gina C.
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
