When The Evening Falls Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

As the evening falls
Fragrance of incense
Drifts across the street
Inside homes prayers
Are chanted and before
Gods earthen lamps are lit

As the evening falls
The cool wind comes
Blowing from the vales
And people sit on the
Verandah to talk about
Day's affairs and many tales

As the evening falls
Slowly silence spreads
Across the valleys deep
As darkness thickens
People close windows
And doors and fall asleep
