Twilight

Sun melts behind mountains as
Flies set fire to twilight,
Slowly reddish moon rises to
Haunting blue note of loon.
Shadows gather into gloom,
Stars flicker, it each in turn
As chorused nocturne's voices
drown our eve's early silence.
Late winds whisper the
Stories of ages passing past
Deeper woods with ruins
Stumbled not on seekers by.
Drearer darkness beckons
Rhythmic stalkers of supper.
Seeking satisfaction of soul's
Deepest desire for meat.
Receding howls rebound off
Rocks raised to heights by
Cataclysms long forgotten by
Those that there inhabit.
Glowing eyes pierce once
Twice the entrances of
Would be pirate caves if
Sea had brought them near.
Red eyed, recessed therein
Sleepless leviathans await
Call to rise as doom begins.
At ending of the day.
