Dark Evening Thoughts

The songs are over
            Silence
      Let your spirit adapt
to evening
                 Twilight time
where
          shadows dwell in forgotten places
   you'l appreciate
the peace which results
            when two worlds meet
                    sorrow fades with
the daylight
                  you'll learn
   the lessons of the night
  soon enough
            Even as we speak
                  light is fading over
the treetops, the houses, the
skyscrapers  
               The garish music of a 
city
     is swallowed by the
lengthening shadows
       Peace to you, brothers and 
sisters
        Here in the asphalt homeland
  the clock is moving
        It moves in it's own time
Answerable to no one
