Twilight
Twilight
Twilight is a time of intermingling dark and light
It is an internecine drama beyond the reach of
Fellini’s lens or Picasso’s brush or Shakespeare’s flight
It is a time that opens perception inviting thereof
To see not in spite of the darkness but because its whereof.
It’s twilight now and the light is fading touching the sky
Scarlet red wishing it orange the gentle blue fading
It’s twilight again and the darkness on the horizon spy
The night is slowly edging
Ready to take its place on the light it’s pouncing.
The sun is hanging between this world and the next,
Waiting for the last bit of gray to settle in,
Waiting to fall away in to another time and place complex,
Leaving the past in its fading rays therein,
Leaving the present to face the future within.
