Twilight Falls
Sunbeams kiss day leaves
shimmering on lush reds, golds and russets
rippling like sun-streaked ocean waves at sunset
final rays of sunshine fade
vanishing into twilight
where celestial bodies sparkle and twinkle
awaiting the grand entrance of the moon
as she positions herself into the plush, black sky
bringing with her a mystical hush
that will silence the earth around her
leaving me alone in the world
to sit on the swing watching,waiting,
pondering inquisitively
in reverential awe
yearning for the first falling star
to leave behind its trail of cosmic dust…
