Twilight

As black trees stand Against the fading light, I view the lengthening Shadows of the night. In the quiet village The lamps begin to blaze As families gather together At the close of their days. As the sun sinks down, Night creatures begin their calling; Their songs fill my ears Even as night is falling. The sky grows dark; Stars appear and begin to shine. I stand close to her, Holding her hand in mine. As we gaze at the heavens, Watching the stars above, I kiss her deeply And give her my love. Then we settle into bed For peace and rest. Of all the hours of the day I love twilight time the best.
