Twilight


I like the pale light of eventide,
         when shadows wrap around me;
oh-  so sweet the birds evensong,
they are settling in their nightfall nests.
     The days end is a dusky time,
to ponder my life by flickering candlelight;
     with a dark ruby red glass of wine . . . 
Outside an owl hoots in the semi-darkness.
