Twilight Twixt Twins
Memories fade slowly
Flickering with spurts of afterglow
The bad and ugly quick to go
The good crystallize, glint and twinkle
Before fading like embers to ash, in fire out.
Dawn is twilight played in reverse
Memories the same
Outcome backtracks to cause rewinds
Sometimes we choose to forget what happened
Cut the tape, pause the restart.
Twilight is transition with fade
Afterglow heralds night seeping in
Gobbling morsels of last light's ruby red glow
Storing rays, beams, shafts to kindle the dawn
Night twixt twilight and first light twins.
Photos are the afterglow of memories fading
Triggers and prompts to awaken times past,
In twilight years of life as we grow old
Cherishing memories in one last afterglow
As life span in twilight, fades and is gone.
