Twilight In the Pines

A dusky passage, winding streets, ventured by merlot, 
    Walking through the alley, a blind man will go. 

Nights bliss walks a homeless man, chin up, heart so kind,
    Imagination through the pine trees, trails he can only find.

The chirping of the crickets as woodland creatures scour,
    Serene, Rim top camping, a peaceful midnight hour.

Pallets on fire, mice scattered thru the street,
    Carried on, a blind man, Mother Nature’s his retreat.

To the left he will climb, finding shelter from the bears,
    Excitement from a childhood, reminiscing tears.

Died down local traffic, no honking of the cars, 
    Desolate, departed streets, corralled in the bars. 

Best part of the day, a nature hike, his life’s highlight,
    Walking the streets smiles a blind man, his enchanting twilight.

For sure, true beauty comes from a place beneath the surface. Closer to the veins and heart of spirit.
