In the Evening Light

A time ofperfect
calm
Still light reflecting
on an estuary
Purple shadows
surrounding my presence
As I dream of
being close-
to you

A time of perception
in the brightness
of a fading day
A last kiss of the
sun
Night, in the splendor
of deep purple
descending
And I think of you

Here, alone, but
complete
in love
Shadows closing in
I quietly long for
a passionate night
My mind taken up
with thoughts
of you

Silvered reflections
on the water
As I gaze out
beyond the horizon
Seeing you there
just beyond
my reach
And reaching out
Stretching my mind
I feel your nearness
Love speaks that
way
In the evening light
