Listen to poem:

Twilight’s Prayer

The golden sun begins to fade, 
Its colors brushed in soft cascade. 
The world bows low on bended knee, 
O Lord, have mercy, hear my plea.

The nightingale begins its tune, 
Beneath the rising silver moon. 
A song prayer in melody, 
O Lord, have mercy, hear my plea.

The stars ignite the velvet skies, 
Reflections in a lover’s eyes. 
Their light a guide for hearts to see, 
O Lord, have mercy, hear my plea.

As shadows stretch and daylight dies, 
My whispered hopes to heaven rise. 
In faith, I trust what is to be, 
O Lord, have mercy, hear my plea.
