A Poem I Wrote - Evening into Night

Evening into Night

The evening sky,

 My woven fantasy

I'd love her

With a sweet caress,

And would not alter

What I could not reach.

She flows into my eye,

 The gentlest sun

 Is falling, softly,
 Into unknown depths;

I’d follow her

On downy wings

But then she would

Just rise,

Forever and forever

Around the curving globe.

Perhaps she sinks

Into my questioning heart,

And echoing doubts

Dissolve like dark in light,

And in those depths

She warms me through the night.
