Analysis of Twilight



As the suns path escapes our sight
Beyond the curvature of the Earth

Becomes invisible
Being lost to new horizons

Between …night and day
At times filtered or obscured by clouds

When the stars come out to play
When children’s prayers make their rounds

Our inner focus Changed In ways profound

Though not in ways So easy for us to explain

Perhaps some magic potion
Discovered by accident

By the ancients
When dinosaurs were still around

(As if that were possible)

More-so, if our pre-versions
of what we’ve to come to be

Found some advantage
In such course of choice

The rest being lost to history

But as your local astrophysicist
Could tell …temperature inversions

Which occur as the sun drops
Beneath the horizon

Reversing the torrent of heat flow
…as it moves to the other side of view

Cooling the air …
bringing the animals
To another stage

Some come out …some go
Taking to safer ground

Predators on the night
watch Patiently attentive …

wait For the young and foolish
To present themselves to a certain fate

While on Heavens door
Unnoticed seasons begin a change
taking place …

winds pouring
Opening a window to space

Let starlight …gently enter
Performing a ballet

As the waning light Quickly fades
The sunset drops fading into obscurity

Our attentions turn Pivot in place…
Our minds refocus …

begin to shift
To drift beyond Our being…

Allow our dreams
To take us Over land and sea

Restlessly exploring
where It ought to be …

leading to Life journeys
Not yet recognized

Much less …our families
Must be prepared to

Brought with us… Our minds lift moods
On making observations

Of the moons rising
Over the horizon

Looming larger than life
Before taking center stage

Then again, as our awareness
of the night world comes

Our senses change An inner gear engages
Amplifies

The contrast By abstraction
Creating an exaggeration
World of fantasy…

perhaps of terror
When fear is near our hearts

Our Muffled heartbeats
As if possessed

By some machine
To make shallow …our breaths

Slam our hearts madly
Against our chest cavities

Tears …find
their way home

When we face our demons
And send them home…

Let them depart, now
Take deep breaths

Now surrounded
By peace and calm

Unwinding
our consciousness

We feel inclined
to soar Once more

Dream magic in flight
Above the clouds

To become at night
what we are not by day

our starships play
Within our minds

Take us there
And then some

We redirect time Light
as well as sound

Master each particle
Suspended in the hourglass

Run our life backwards
Review our former choices

Armed with inner voices
Forces we turn to Explain things
Greater than Our minds Grasp

Might Otherwise Be led to Entertain
Thus we become Greater communicators

With our inner selves
Taking the tools We were born to use

Off from quiet places They were stored
Held in suspension For us to use

Further in time Now as we pour
thoughts Back into the well of souls

We take our cup
Filling it with new found vision

Redirecting energies
Rerouting our decisions

And go on

Reborn to tend to
Our life affairs

Give closer focus
To the near and dear…

Pay more attention
To the common ground

What’s that coming! …

it’s the next thing
We once feared …

yet now, when
darkness Fades
to light

We look around
And
