Dusk

This poem is dedicated to my beautiful wife Sandy as we watched the sun go down together which is her favorite time of the day.


DUSK

At dusk the sun begins to go down
At twilight one hears the night sound

Rays of light pierce the sky
Darkness descends as the day passes by

Stars appear as if all was ending
But the beauty of the day is only beginning

The cool night breeze fills the air
Moonlight washes over the world without a care

A midst arises and hovers over the waters
The sounds of night echo down life's corridors

The beauty of the daylight is fading and gone
The radiant night chants is steady love song

Every breath is taken under the starry host
The heavens declare the greatness of God the most

Life and death passes each one of us by
Are we living the truth or are we living a lie?

Will the new day be filled with awful regret?
Or will God's peace descend owing tomorrow no debt?

Dusk is the perfection of day my wife says is her favorite part
Wonder, beauty, and mystery fills her heart

Days turn into years as we partner together
With God's love at the center that makes it all last forever
