Apollo closes his fiery eye,

Colors melt from the western sky,

Twilight steals on dusky feet,

Night sounds swell and shadows meet.

Darkened forest, misty dell;

Realm of shadows casts its spell.

Though I'm a creature of the light

I'm mesmerized by moods of night.

Nocturnal pathways beckon me

Into a world I cannot see.

Primeval memories of a birth

When darkness veiled the face of Earth.

While others choose sunrise sublime

I fantasize in twilight time.
