Echoes of Darkness

 

Echoes of darkness in the dissipating light

Elongating shadows are forming in the night

 

The mountains backdrop an ever dimming sky

Silhouettes of wonder as evening gives a sigh

 

Crickets chirp in unison in a hidden veiled throng

The hooting of an owl completes this mournful song

 

The night gives birth to starlight with an effervescent glow

A golden halo streams from a moonlight river flow

 

Fear not the eve of twilight’s submissive compliant    thrall

As radiance fades subserviently into a docile quiet pall
