Twilight etches in
full of brilliance and potential
Imploring me to rise
with the sun
I comply but am
Soon lost in the busyness
of living
Clouds loom ahead, casting
passengers in cars,
footsteps down corridors,
a toast between friends
and lovers
I am suspended by another day
A younger me
A younger you
The clouds roll away
And I am thankful for sunlight
I catch my breath while
My eyes regain their focus
…one distraction, then another
And I move forward,
In my own evolution
The day turns to eve
More clouds, more still shots
framed
around the corners of
your eyes and
Things that were made
Both tangible and not
But made
none-the-less
The darkness closes in
I turn out the light
Twisting-
until midnight finds me
And I leap over, run
into its depths, and fall
face down into my pillow
So as not to leak out
one drop of this pool
that I have carried
Your smile catching me every time.
And perhaps
more startling there
-you are-
In dreams, still
Whole-
and beautiful.
and
We are suspended
We are suspended
until morning
When twilight etches in...
