Crepuscular

puccini in the distance
ka-bobs on the grill
wine deep in the glass
freedom is near

dogs on the porch
smile as you absorb the sunset
tasting the nectar of conversation
intermingled with salty and sweet

the hand of the one you love
reaching for your shoulder
softly
followed instantly by
a knowing movement towards
the approaching touch

the shared glance of  communion
and
freedom is here

unbelievable days of letting go
allowing the moment
to steep in your soul

Excellent title and stunning phrasing... transcendent, insofar as you aspire to a higher place. Best wishes, Keith
