The Deepening Twilight

It’s the end of the day again

The light begins to fade

And the sky slowly looses

The glow the sun had made


Bright blues give way to inky black

The sun must bow to the stars

Which have no warm light

When they are so far


Shadows deepen all around

Everything becomes less defined

There is coolness and isolation

In the oncoming night I find


It is sad and yet not sad

Like mist compared to rain

For there is no finality in this darkness

Just the circle beginning again


But twilight is the time of day

Which saddles in between

Belonging to neither world

Or so it would seem


Perhaps it’s in a different place

Where things are constantly flowing

And time feels like reality

When the sky gives it meaning


So as I watch the deepening twilight

As the day melts into night

It is as though I have to mourn

The arrow of time’s flight

The Chair beneath the Tree

How forlorn that chair is Resting there on its own How sad and grim it is That companionable seat, alone

Castles in the Sky

I should like to lie in a garden And look up at the sky Where the clouds would freely roam And the gentle birds would fly

Winds of Memory

The wind sings with memory And I remember each time and place When I closed my eyes in appreciation As it blessed me with its grace
