Twilight's Magic

“The sky prepares the sun for night Where drifting clouds are slowly steeping In tepid pools of waning light.” I lie with my true love by me upon warm sand where there comes creeping toward our beach – azure of the sea! It isn’t long before the sky starts spilling colors as if weeping tears so lovely I could cry! My sweetheart leans in for a kiss. I feel as if my heart is leaping. Such joy is love in twilight’s bliss. We stay there watching sun sink low. Gratitude for God’s gifts we’re reaping. How I wish time would go slow. Enveloped by dark, we embrace. Sun behind the mountains is sleeping, and now the moon will take sun’s place. Moments such as these do not last. That’s why in my mind I’ll be keeping magic that faded all too fast.
