Dusk falls

• 

Dusk falls gently

Tinging the apricot sky with rays of dying light

After a day in which

Anxiety and immobility

Laid claim to my soul

I am grateful for the darkness

And the settling of evening

That gives me a reprieve from

All of this need to strive

Leaving the shattered core of me

Behind

Let me feel you wrap

Your healing arms of love

Around me dusk

Take me home to

That hidden place in my soul

Where the entirety of me

Is completely held

And deeply known
