Twilight - Double Exposure
Sweet twilight time, end of the day,
when sun below horizon sinks
with tranquil sky diffused in gray
and sapphire-melon colored inks.
What peacefulness in your grandeur
when doubled in the mirrored lake
with ripples that give sparks to your
reflection in its gentle wake.
Dark tree limbs frame your work of art
like loving arms that brace your glow,
just like a stage scene set apart,
enjoyed before the nighttime show.
Sweet twilight time you contrast dawn-
she starts the day, you prelude night;
within your charm, our thoughts are drawn-
reflected in your calm delight.
