Twilight's Embrace
Twilight's Embrace
The myriad curtains of a deep red sky
embrace the edges of the promised horizon.
Peaceful lips, lost in a soft soliloquy
remember the memories of an ending dawn, his life.
The deathbed, a fitting place for a fitting end;
death beckons, but he is not scared.
Like a setting sun, slipping ever slowly
flowing into the last crevices of a linear skyline,
his eyes shut in solemn prayer,
his soul wraps itself in twilight's undying embrace.
