The Deepening Twilight
By May Kwek
It’s the end of the day
again
The light begins to fade
And the sky slowly looses
The glow the sun had made
Bright blues give way to
inky black
The sun must bow to the
stars
Which have no warm light
When they are so far
Shadows deepen all around
Everything becomes less
defined
There is coolness and
isolation
In the oncoming night I
find
It is sad and yet not sad
Like mist compared to
rain
For there is no finality
in this darkness
Just the circle beginning
again
But twilight is the time
of day
Which saddles in between
Belonging to neither
world
Or so it would seem
Perhaps it’s in a
different place
Where things are
constantly flowing
And time feels like
reality
When the sky gives it
meaning
So as I watch the
deepening twilight
As the day melts into
night
It is as though I have to
mourn
The arrow of time’s
flight
