Listen to poem:

The Twilight

Over the mountains the purple comes rolling
lit like a backdrop silhouette glowing

Soon to meet the valley in cascades of light
to make day of what has been night

The sun with shine
 the stars will fade

And some will sleep
while others awake

And soon once again
that purple will rise

and push the light out
from the skies

The Twilight  - 1985  (C)  - Susan Manley
