Soft tangerine sight;
Prelude to twilight~
Sunset's passing grace
Of her gentle gaze,
...

in pensive mood
she stands like cypress
waiting for the sun
to meet the silent sea
...

Beside the railway
barefooted I walk~
As twilight descends
old pavement darkens
...

star-like seeds disperse
adrift in the air so swift
left alone ~ the moon
...

lost in a winter dream~
beneath the indigo sky
the melancholic music soars
echoing from distant shores
...

dazzling cosmic arc
entwines two lovers adrift
God's promise recalled.
...

You did not lose
your little girl,
my father dear;
Here I am~
...

Beside the sea i wait~
the dreamy dawn to shine
and paint horizon's hue
in tawny, taupe and teal
...
