i stood beneath the soft black tent of the sky
watching the stars peek through the after-dusk
dark trees cast lacy silhouettes upon the horizon
as crickets sang their lullabies to the drowsing world
my toes grew chilled in shadowed grass, soft earth
clinging, embracing feet bared in contentment
the human race hummed by on the highway
outside my homely sphere of wonder
the topmost of cassiopeia’s points winked cheerily
as a friend or a lover might to a dear one
on october’s eve i stood in the deepening darkness
emancipating the hallowedness of twilight
Never thought twilight can carry hollowness like this. Your poems always make me to think. Nice write!
