Twilight

In the night, the deepened darkness

Glimmers with a thousand shades

Vines of moonlight catching dusk

And ripening like aged grapes

Old and ancient, timeless smell

Of darkest days gone by

Some vintage, musty memory

Rests on the air like wine

Drinking in the twilight thoughts

Of shadow flitting through my glass

Midnight mocks the silence

Hear it laugh and let it pass

Challenge

Folly

I did not think the jester's hat

Would fit so snugly on the judge's head

Huddled in bed, warm flashlight

Rain on the roof, lightning outside

Imagined Sanctuary

Trembling, I stood

Cold on the edge of ruin

Careful not to step

Too quickly into the dark.

My butterfly heart

Holds back my possibilities

And stone weights of cowardice

Anchor me safe to the ground
