on the edge of night
sun slowly disappears
leaving only a tinge of lilac light
to color the horizon
birds say their goodbyes
their cries waft to me
upon waves of sound
almost imperceptibly
contentment is found
in the slow winding down
as pressure eases
here within the growing dark
soft light sends its message of warm
radiating from behind lamplight silhouettes
as spirits draw close
whispering to my soul
time to close the shades
and come home to
the place where peace is
most deeply known
here on the edge
of the passing of the light
as setting sun
releases the sky
to night
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Excellent Mate
Reminds me of the changing of Seasons watching as spring evolves into summer then Summer fades to Autumn the falling of the leaves memerzing vibrant colours blanket the setting around us. As fall lingers to be no more everything is consumed by purity of White shadows filled with bliss of Snow.
