At the Shore At Twlight

When the color of twilight had deigned to appear tonight
I could hear the earth sigh in proud parental delight
As the sea gathered the last rolling wave to rocky shore
the sky a smear of sun’s autumn rays upon her inner door

Gentle, the pastels blend like a baby’s tender early kiss
A breeze laid a rippled path to return the maiden’s remiss
Her wish of a lover’s hand to hold her close to cheek
Rises in all sirens song of lost lovers aching lonely seek

I feel the tide turn towards the hidden moons mystic glow
Shadows darkening, deep currents swirling to escape it’s hold
A lonely man paddles to shore, empty hands reaching far
Can he find the path that leads to loves shinning evening star?
