Lane Of Twilight Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

It so quiet now as we enter into the lane of twilight
Yes, it's that time again as we say goodbye to Summer
No rushing just taking it easy, step by step, Winter is insight
Looking back there, on this sad year, I could shed a tear
Thinking of all the drowning at sea of them, unfortunate refugees
Thinking of all the hardship they suffered during this year
Then turning my mind to the senseless bombing in France
And in the country where the refugees fled from in dread
Let hope that there is something better out there, a chance
To remedy the injustices in this world and give equality to all
A peace that may be different things to different communities

In the twilight lane, we can reflect and wonder about what will be
Is there worse impending in the background waiting for the command?
The balance of power may swing either way for it plain to see
Men are only human with flaws they are not gods or are we
Greed and religion can spark the flames that detonate a row
Boundary and barriers become invisible for lines are crossed
First, we need a medium then consultation and we need it now
Today as tomorrow never comes so strike while the iron is hot
Place the white flag on the highest point so everyone can see
Will it do any good as a symbol of peace? Probably not
I will leave this sad conversation to one side and go for my walk
