Magic & Delight (at twilight)

Like a cauldron

of soup in an oversized

bowl its inside roils

and boils scents of

pine and grassy howls

tumbling across the evergreens

orange and yellow tufts of

sunshine girdle the pot

and my eyes enlarge

with envy

my lips unable to express

its beauty.

As I ponder I surrender

to its magic spell

filters from the sky

through growling clouds

and mountain shadow

my soul at rest

unable to pierce the port

of this great delight

and I kneel

in wonder

at a miraculous sight.

Note: On November 4, 2020 my

wife and I experienced the most

beautiful sunset ever seen as twilight

turned to minus light in Truro,

Nova Scotia and I just had to write.
