Twilight Requiem

There is beauty in the dying of the day
where shadows lengthen in the dusk
waters ripple with enchanted hush
as twilight chases the sunlight away.

It's amazing how one verse in a poem can stand alone as a poem with meaning. I'm enjoying these excerpts for the contest. This one Laura is a sure winner!

Great composition for the service for the dead where the dead is the day itself; the requiem is brief beacuse 'the day' would appear the next day. Thankful for this nice poem Laura. Hugs.
