Jolted by Twilight

You rang…illumination of bittersweet passion. My facial vitality warmed by the welcoming awakening. My eyes become as stars linked together with humanity The balm of a new day. At day’s end the jigsaw of twilight, jolted by the multitudinous explosion of magenta, violet and crimson. I squeeze my love’s hand. An euphoric inhale of impending rest; not inert but fullness. Coloriffic breast to lie upon. Seeping hues choose all of us in its reveal. Do we choose to look up or close the shades? Do we then complain, we’ve no beauty in our pain? Be jolted by twilight, not champagne nor caffeinated seeds. Come alive as the night tucks you in, serene. Sense God’s presence in your storm - His riveting resonance.

The inspiration has to hit. Often I crumple up the virtual paper and throw it in the waste bin. Thank you, Anne-Lise! Hugs

Ah such a powerful and beautiful poem, i love how youv written such a descriptive but beyond all what stood out for me the most was the last line, yes, Feel the light , that warms our storm, Gods presence through light and dark. Faith is the flame that guides us through it all. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light always
