the sun sidles off,
to it's next assignation
and the cool, nibbles
through my clothes.
still, i sit on the back deck,
waiting in wonder,
for a silver stiched sky.
right now....all shades of blue,
shimmer in the glow of the
sun's fond adieu...
this is, the time i love the best.
the betweening of sunset and twilight, mere moments
of turning ...
and then, into the break of night,
as the shadows deepen
and the scurrying things, come on myriad tiny feet.
the stars relax into their
rhythmic, beauty
the moon benign, looks upon
us all, in silence..
and behind me, the lights
flicker on...in my warm
and cosy life....
goodnight, to you,
little things,
that make your way
in the cold, dark...
goodnight.
