Earth Etude for Elul 2 – Twilight

by Carol C. Reiman~

Sky still blue,

Eyes still brown–

Colors

Fading.

~

Leaf veins branch,

Hand veins thin–

Skin

Cascading.

~

What time we have;

Have we time–

To laugh in sync,

While eyes dim.

~

Leaves dry,

Sweep away;

Book of Life

Unfurls pages.

~

Where the path?

Circling, thin,

Narrowing

As the fog sets in.

~

The blue,

The eyes,

Change color,

Go.

~

The sun

Goes on

Beyond

Our line

Of sight.

~

To other

Realms

In other

Forms.

~

Our day,

Our year,

Teaching,

Thought

All

Turn…

Carol C. Reiman is out of library work into retirement in the Boston area, engaged by cats, dogs, and human animals, heavily involved in mother care, searching for balance.
