“twilight”
the light is almost gone, and there
is so much more that we could say;
but everything winds down, and so
it has here on this april day
the lessons learned in laughter, left –
the memories comprising
the bits of you inside of me,
so many, so surprising
the clemency of all who’ve known
the secret that the winds blow —
the twilight of another dream
that fades into
the shadow
