Twilight

Day is ended
Night suspended
Twilight

I walk in the half light
A gentle breeze stirring
In the fronds of the palm trees
That are dark silhouettes
Against the lavender sky
Warm humid air
Clings to me, enfolds me
As if to hold me
Longer in its embrace
Preventing me from hurrying
Languidly I walk
With senses awakened
Sweet scents of blooms
And tang of salt spray
Uncoil in the air
Night sounds muffled
The hypnotic rhythm of katydids
The chirp of a lone bird
Perhaps to its lover
Saying I am here, here, here
And still I walk
Deeper into the coming night
But now, as one
With the twilight.
