In the Depth of Dusk

The sun travels on course in your sky grey from your inert life it takes time away, to see the fated night arrive late the toiling hope in you waits in the depth of dusk. On the edge of horizon dark clouds stray cast on you shadow of the dying day, to see the falling stars disappear the sadness within simmers in the depth of dusk. Moist clouds spread a pall on the dark sky drift away with the joy of your day early, to see the veiled sun emerge again the dreams in you remain in the depth of dusk. The sunny days at their own pace saunter taking the light of life from you farther, to make the glow last a bit longer the desire in you digs deeper in the depth of dusk. As the day’s destiny waits for the sunset birds return from the blue to the nest, to see the memory flash in twilight the hope in you shines bright in the depth of dusk. November 17, 2017.
