The Silent One

It's at this time I like to write No longer day, but not yet night Where Sun and darkness can not see The Silent One come visit me Where shadows flow like whispered rhymes Of sorted tales and grueling times And so collaborate we do In the twilight just we two To share on creased and crumbled page Both pain and pleasures through the age Where tears do shed, and veins do bleed There cryptic words no one can read And as this world fades from our sight Regarding night as lack of light While the Sun, retakes the sky The moon retreats for it is shy Thus, it waits another day To move the Sun, out of it's way But, before the light is fully shunned I wait here for The Silent One And there we'll write until quite late To once again collaborate. This Is an N/A

Twilight is my favorite time of day and I love this collaboration, Jerry. You chose a great poet with whom to co-write. I can't tell which portions you wrote and which were written by Silent One. Beautiful!! Best wishes, Carolyn
