Dusky Senses

Oh you

mellow moments

Wash me with your

cool, calm ambiance

Fill my vision

with rich amber light

My ears

with birdsong

My body

with release

Fiery skies sink into

mauvey grey horizons

Crickets begin their

one note chorus

Relieving breezes introduce

the evening star and its

sidekick,

Blurry Moon

Snippets of aromas

Wafting roasts

Spicy curries

The neighbours prepare

their feasts

Do they smell mine?

Soon it's time

to light the lamps

plate the meals

Share our day

Clink a glass

Give thanks

But for a moment more

I bask

This dusky peace

A gift,

An honour, to receive

Again today.
