TWILIGHT LAST

Twilight, Last

Twilight, last

We walked the paths

Of passion like the thunder

The tide of which

Rolled over us

And then it pulled us under.

The gold

To sapphire blue, it turned

The day

To evening hue

And all I felt was needing's grasp

And all I saw was you.

We stumbled

More than ran, to meet

As rain began to fall

And gathered love up

In our arms

And answered wanting's call.

The barn

With roof

Of battered tin

The hay strewn for our bed

Your arms, an offering in the cold

And pillow for my head.

And then

We kissed

And all the world

Began to fade from sight

As midnight captured twilight's blue

And morning captured night.

Twilight, last

We walked the paths

That today we may regret

We pass, discreet

On noonday street

Like our hearts have never met.

But soon

Wild wind

Will blow again

And the thunder's roar will call

And we'll go running down that path

And again, in love, we'll fall.
