Melissa Ray Poem
When twilight wanders into night
upon a summer’s eve
it’s easy to believe
that magic fairies carry light
and flit throughout the trees
while sailing on the breeze
When twilight wanders into night

Melissa Ray Poem
With you by me at close of day,
we’re gazing out to sea.
Our sun-kissed bodies gently sway
to Neptune’s melody.
He lulls us with the gentle ease
of lapping surf and balmy breeze.

Melissa Ray Poem
As I sit and look out,
I hear the soft cadence
of dripping eaves as
afternoon fades from the sky.
I’m completely mesmerized by the gentle sound
and the slow, methodical raindrops sliding down
the splattered windowpane
... as twilight comes with rain.

Melissa Ray Poem
Rob’s lantern leads the way to home,
upon a dark October night.
With dragging feet too tired to roam,
he’s grateful for the glowing light.
Upon a dark October night,
a message came to cause alarm.
He’s grateful for the glowing light.
Help needed at the neighbor’s farm.
A message came to cause alarm.
Rob’s friend had put his work to rest.
Help needed at the neighbor’s farm.
A heart attack within the breast.
Rob’s friend had put his work to rest,
he’d turned around to go inside.
A heart attack within the breast,
a grunting moan, and then he died.
He’d turned around to go inside,
not knowing it would be the end.
A grunting moan, and then he died.
He left his wife and faithful friend.
Not knowing it would be the end,
he left his wife and faithful friend.
With dragging feet too tired to roam,
Rob’s lantern leads the way to home.
