                 Lines at Twilight

The last vestiges of light
gleam from the teeth of evening
and dance upon half-hidden pages
dimming now to the distant strains
of Mr. Eliot’s ‘Rhapsody on a Windy Night’
as the last sunbeams, spinning in corners
conjure dream-images in the lonely mind,
(pausing only to tease the hosts of shadows
   marshaled for this occasion by the night)
you return once more … in fantasy …
changed a bit perhaps
by the prisms of distance and memory.
Yet, for that fleeting moment
you seem so very near …
and I remember how I loved you.

Achingly beautiful, Bruce. Wonderful piece of writing with love it's fundamental.

oh boy this is divine, I love this!

It is the harmony of the universe

ah yes, memory may alter somewhat our recollections but it doesn't alter our feelings.

Enjoyed the remembrence of things past,
