Into the First Hours of Twilight

. The last tint of orange sunset faded into hints of lilacs and blues trailing the depthless paths of a promising horizon On the glistening sand I lay into the first hours of twilight My eyes reverting from early stars to follow soft gentle ripples of playful waves lapping onto the silent shore The scent of salt~ spray and margeuritas wafted in the air 'Neath the moonglow that seperates our lands ...And I thought of you ...Of your last letter Of every pulse of your heartbeat pouring crimson in a cup of rose-petal water Yes,once more I thought of you like I always do And everything was beautiful and everything went still till the trickling drops of crystal dew welcomed dawn.

I wonder -- the last letter what did it say . . . his undying love, of keeping you close in the insanity of war, of hope and reunion by the shore . . . "went still" a dreamless sleep of a mutual love -- kissed by the sunrise. Yes, your poem speaks to all of this and more . . .
