TWILIGHT'S GLEAM
TWILIGHT’S GLEAM
S.JENSEN © 2017
WINTER SUNSHINE
PEACEFULLY LIT
SHINING SHADOWS
INTO THE
WINDOW
QUIET AND GROUNDED
THIS GOLDEN SILENCE
HAS A SAD TINGING
TUNE TO IT
BUT A UNIVERSAL
GRACE OF THIS
LONELY CASTLE
ONE THING ENDS
AS ANOTHER BEGINS
FOR GOOD OR ILL
THE FORESHADOWING
CONTRASTING SHINE
RESTS THERE
COLLECTING
DUST
HOPING ITS THE
RIGHT CHOICES
I HAVE MADE
TRIALS AND ERRORS
SPACED NOW
AWAY FROM
THE SPIKED TAILED
CHAOS
THAT BLINDED
IN ITS WAYS
AND BACK TO WHO
I HAVE BEEN
FIGHTING TO BE
JUST ME
OH SWEET GRACE
OH TO
THE YOU AND I
I WILL HOLD TO
WHERE ONLY
WE KNOW
INTO THE
FADED LIES
SLIPPED OUT
THE DOOR
TODAY’S TRUTH
IS MY
WINTER SUN
RISING OVER
THE HILL
TO FIND MY
STUFFED HEARING
BLOCKED AWAY
AS THIS COLD
I AM FIGHTING
SILENCES THE
WHISPERS
I HAVE SO
GROWN USED
TO JUST BEING
THERE
WILL I BE OK
I DON’T SEE
I HAVE A CHOICE
WINTERS CHILL
STILLS THE
BRANCHES
IN THE LACK
OF WIND
WHERE MY
BLUE GREY EYES
SINGING THEIR
GLEAMING
LEAVING
STARS IN THE SKY
AND DREAMS
TO ANOTHER PLACE
THIS CROOKED
WAVE ROLLS
IN THE TIDE
OF WHERE I
REST
OH UNDER
THE MIDNIGHT BLUE
TO WADE
STRAIGHT
THROUGH
TO THE ALTER STATES
OF WHERE
MY ARTISTS
IMAGINATION
WILL ALWAYS
LONG TO BE
BESIDE
IN AND OUT
OF THE PULSE
YET I KNOW
ITS JUST TOO FAR
AWAY NOW
SO I CENTER
ON THE HERE
AND THE NOW
SIPPING MY TEA
INTO THE
TWILIGHT’S GLEAM
OF MY MIND’S
SWEET
MEMORIES…
WHERE OH
WHERE OH
SHALL I
EVER FIND
THAT GRACE
IN YOUR ARMS
TO MINE
AS I SIT
ON THE FLOOR
YOUR LEGS
BESIDE MY BODY
AND YOUR IN THE
CHAIR ABOVE
BENDING DOWN
WITH YOUR ARMS
AROUND MINE
AS I LOOK UP
AND YOU LOOK DOWN
AND WE
JUST SMILE
WHILE EVERYONE
ELSE IS BUSY
BUSTLING AROUND
GETTING
THE HOLIDAY
TABLE READY
A MOMENT IN
MY MIND
THAT IS JUST
IN MY MIND…
LOST THERE
LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE
I GO ON
AND I SEEK
A NEW PATHWAY
TO SOME PEACE
AWAY FROM THIS
INTO TOMORROW’S
PLACES
TO CARRY ME
AWAY…
OH SO FAR
FAR AWAY…
SUN SHINING
BRIGHT IN THE
SKY RIGHT
INTO THE GLEAM
IN MY EYES.
