Dusk

The silence broken, shrieks a far off hawk

As darkness starts to fall it leads alone to night

As cloudless dusk shows Venus first

In a dazzling display of early light


The orange sky spreads fingers

Heaven wide and stretched so long

Above the silent hills

Though nothing at this moment feels wrong


The silent grasses wear a heavy dew

They glisten in the stillest air

The last rays of the sun have painted them

Orange and yellow like crystals everywhere


The sheep lie still and cry a sorrowful

cry that breaks the dusky silence

As the quiet of the valley overwhelms

The senses that would shy away from violence

A mist is slowly gathering to follow river path

The coolness of late evening is felt

A rememberance of times so sadly past

Attacks your very senses makes you melt.


These are times of deepest thoughts and dreams

When youth made up such thoughts alone

And made such stories that you could believe

Nurture, care for and make your very own.


I am but older now and such views I aspire

To conjure up those thoughts for just a second

But in a fleeting moment they are gone

As if into a mortal reality they are so beckoned...
