It was the dark comfort of the twilight sky
that still held her together,
the enfolding of stillness…
until he wrapped her in his arms again,
chasing away
her fears.

In the Twilight of Summer
In the twilight of summer, cicadas sing of their glory
yet the air is just a little cooler
over the water.

As Seagulls Peer into the Waves
As seagulls peer into the waves, expecting the night to fall,
an older couple refuse to give up their walk
in spite of the chill, the sun setting
her hand in his, still holding
having been through enough hell
to never let go of love
or each other.
Their twilight was always
the most beautiful.

Autumn sun shining in a gentle way
let’s me know that there is a season
of twilight,
the in between of heat and cold, a place of quiet
our souls stretching, taking a moment seeing,
comprehending the waves
relaxing our minds,
understanding the rhythm, and the moon descending,
a time to gather in, and to rest, never ceasing
to be hopeful, comforting
yet very much in between.
