Andrea Dietrich Poet Lay

In Twilight Hours

In twilight hours I find my peace.
Day’s obligations have been met.
It’s time to find my soul’s release
while over hills sun starts to set.

Life’s trials will go on, and yet
with meditation, worries cease.
The balm of calm I wish to get
while seeing heaven turn cerise.

John Watt February 16, 2020 at 6:20 PM Andrea, this is such wise counsel - meditating on nature (sunsets in particular) has that calming effect that our stress-filled minds and bodies need. Awesome write in a little itty-bitty living space! Congrats on your win ~ John
