Towards The Ageing Of Life Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Towards the ageing of
life
the waters take on twilight
leanings:
they become calmer as
setting to rest after a storm
after a tempest that exhausted
them
after a day of labor that
made them groan:
so they turn twilight and then
with every hour passing
deepen and deepen.

there's
waiting
waiting on so many occasions
in this life
were I and others
to make it immortal
then
there would be immortal waiting.

the snows already start to breeze
themselves
slowly and rarely
already begin to thaw
in the chill of after-ageing
For the Dusk
Will take off his clothes
and in a hidden pool
Deep leap swimming.

Trembles
the blue of night
paces are heard
on the roof that be
the Olympian heavens.


And then
A wide big laugh
the Night
the visage of the heavens
changes
