         Time’s Fugacious Whimsy

The shrill din of day’s tangled cares
yields to the twilight balm of evening
and ephemeral siren-song of time
  passing…

No trace shall remain of the night’s gentle
wind nor purest moonlight…for they tarry not,
but dance away with the damp-fresh shadows
  of a fine-morning Spring.

"twilight balm of evening"
A very soothing image.

first, anyone who uses 'fugacious' in a title deserves to be read and, once again, you've not disappointed your readers...love this line:

"but dance away with the damp-fresh shadows"...but, it was all good

Bruce,

This is wonderful.  I love the hope that spring seems to bring.
