Twilight Communion Twilight longs for its communion with night Loosening its tie, falling sunset out of sight Absent of bird sounds, in stillness, they meet Familiar friends, seek the hearth of momentary sigh More, the pulse and proper bond, as fond comply Scent of clove, aspires to make warm the air Faint, the colors drawn to highlight fair As muse reconciles the time once parted Softly howling, shadow myths a star watched prowling Whisper low and near the earth the talk of closeness given way Lay thee down, in humble drown, awhile this night to stay And keep me here, keep me As in the verses told, beside you, comes the night less cold For I will linger here, a long forever time Copyright Kkh 2/6/09 |

Twilight is a wonderful time of passage, and the thought of communion gives it greater beauty and meaning, as it has for you in this lovely poem. art |

Whisper low and near the earth the talk of closeness given way Lay thee down, in humble drown, awhile this night to stay And keep me here, keep me As in the verses told, beside you, comes the night less cold For I will linger here, a long forever time Such nice open thoughts so pleasant and soothing. Very nice indeed. Eric |

This is quite lovely and soothing in the visions and word sounds you have created. After reading the last two lines, I read the poem again with a much deeper perspective. Very nice! |
