fog,

drifting,

ghost like

shadows, dark but alluring

meeting the sky.

I'm asleep in reality

not awake in a dream,

almost serene 

but aching.

silent weight

encompassing my hearts throng

turning it low and melodious.

I wish someone would sing along

to the forgotten bars 

of my song.

low,

deep,

sweet.

my heart beats

melting

with the orange glow; 

orange fading.

my hearts song, my life strains

the pounding quietly resounds.

I wish you were nearer 

that things were undone

my heart re-won 

yours un-wrung 

that we were

rewritten, fearless

with reckless abandon

headstrong and free.

open,

frank,

released.

I wish we could delve into the aching

the lonely

to get to the mystery

of waiting.

unravel the pain

in the light of this fading 

twilight.

invisible beyond the darkened sky

my plight.

somehow I stay afloat 

I'm continuing my life

and with an oncoming day 

I will take flight

only to turn my head

and look to where you are

instead

of embracing my 

twilight.

now I'm learning how to learn

how to turn

how to forget and still love you

how to live without boundless flight

with rules on how to fight

to right

forgetting to ask where you are tonight.

it's another step

another shadow

slinking out of my sight

and disappearing into

the beauty

of this my own 

twilight.
