Twilight's Fading Light
Twilight’s fading light silently morphs into
A cobalt sky, with diamonds sprinkled
Twinkling, and the sweet scent of blooming
Jasmine lingers heady in the air.
Earth’s dark curtain coaxes tiny creatures
To sing their songs and move along
To gather food and feed their young
Without the heat of daytime’s sun.
Moonbeams with their gentle glow
Illuminate their little paths as friendly trees
Cast darkened shadows on the garden wall.
Dew drops form on blades of grass
And cover all in frosty white until the dawn
Draws down the diamonds from the sky to
To spread across the meadow’s peaceful rising.
