TWILIGHT

Twilight

Sounds of thoughts

Images like holographs

Memories flourish

Faces, feelings

Fade into longing

Regretting, forgetting

Go to the window

Look to the heavens 

Sun, moon, fixed stars

Rise and set, wax and wane

And you—here

Only a moment in millennia

Go to your door

Step over the threshold

Hear leaves rustling in the wind

See birds on the wing

Still—longing to stay 

But it is twilight.
