Evening Coffee (Sonnet) Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

When evening stills the clamor of the day,
I choose one cup where drifting vapors rise;
Within its bitter warmth my thoughts allay,
As truth draws near beneath the darkened skies.

The fading light forgives what erred before,
As noise dissolves to silence, calm, and thought;
No answer comes to doubts I still explore,
Yet peace is brewed from all the day has brought.

Steam from the cup ascends like patient prayer,
From mind to air where restless fears grow thin;
The city dims; the heart learns how to bear
Its weight, and gently lets the night begin.

So life and I, in quiet concord meet,
And seal our truce within this bitter sweet.
