Twilight Moment

twilight be this moment real
the path of light and dark as one
pulsing shadows in splendor cast
this the day's calling
a momentary interlude
a sigh
a breath
the grace of the day
the caress of the night.

All That Enfolds

flowing be all that enfolds
this mind, this heart, this soul
softly embracing light and shadow
draped in the caress of beauty
passions lived, a story told
a giving grace ever to behold.

From ancient times to the present, folds fluid, drapery upon self, object, castle, or abode, to lend the metaphoric beauty of life's ever present grace and flow.
And so too, I offer this swaddling of spirit known.
