The Twilight's Ponder II: Going Back Home

The fading eve had replaced the noon
Biding its time for the twilight’s sigh
Slowly as the sun now crawled to his bed
Leaving the moon to play with his light

So still and so cold on my spot all-alone
Beholding the sky as empty as my heart
Where clouds were just veils so thick and so white
Enshrouding the sky and the earth for a moment

And here on my perch a lonely hill
I saw how the trees now danced with the mists
As the clouds now glowed in a shade of blue
Gracing the sky like living wet paint

I sighed again for the umpteenth time
Helplessly within this nostalgic shade
A fleeting reminisce of times long past
And the fact that I’m now no longer so young…

So now I began my journey for home
Down through the hills, the trees and the mists
Back to the house on the corner of destiny
Back to my life or what’s left of it…

Good Night.
