Embrace Of Twilight Poem by David Wood

Embrace Of Twilight

Rating: 5.0


At eight o'clock as the sun
Dipped below the rooftops
I sat in the garden with a
Coffee laced with Scotch.

The heat of the day slowly
Evaporating in that special
Time of twilight when nature
Becomes silent and still.

Only the birds above winding
Their way back to their nests
Flying in ‘V' formations in
The still blue breathless sky.

The rose shrub had blossomed
And was waiting for its evening
Drink, its red petals contrasting
With the green grass, where

Red and yellow dahlias caressed
The twilight, where by morning
Old petals will have given way
To new buds softly emerging.

Slowly, evening's cape casts
Its shadow, an empty cup waits to
Be taken inside in a growing evening
Chill ending the evening siesta.

Then LeeAnn you would see my long grey hair, long grey beard, bottle-stop glasses, wooden leg and walking stick!

Dear David, you made yourself unattractive, but LeeAnn has set up her mind, don't you think so?

Colorful and picturesque expression of nature in twilight zone. Beautiful poem. The sentences 'Red and yellow dahlias caressed The twilight, where by morning Old petals will have given way To new buds softly emerging.' are really picturesque.
