Gloaming

Standing watch… No fear,

No trepidation for the passing years.

Could not stop them anyway,

Would not even if I could.

 

Weary and yet satisfied,

Sliding into destinies to

Meet the gloaming eye to eye,

Riding high on memories.

 

Seems like only yesterday when

Nimble youth was much engaged.

How delightful are the smiles

That greet me as I reminisce.

 

Happy to have come this far,

Hopeful to go farther still.

Helpful the experience

Accumulated on the way.

 

Now that twilight dips its head

To touch the tops of tireless trees

I lift up a silent prayer,

Thankful for the gifts received.
