Twilight

Twilight The gray masked skies darken shadow my path on my long walk home, and everything’s a memory the summer gold gentle warm wind the promise of more. Night falls all around me in silence with no regret the taking of radiance the dead chill that permeates my thoughts to bear another long night and to bear in silent witness life passing all around me while I ease myself into sleep in the light of dreams.

My daughter posted her very first poem on this site today while home with the flu. You quickly responded with encouragement and gave her a poetry pointer. For this I say thanks! Poetry is an art and artists must teach the younger ones. Thank u, compadre. Interesting concept with this poem...you have complete peacefulness as you fall asleep after a long walk in the dark.... :)
