In the magic that the dusk reveals

Love at twilight

 

 

 

 

 

In the magic that the dusk reveals

 

 

As the sun begins its slow descent

And the silhouetting of the trees

Casts a shadow on the horizon

The darkened outline of the leaves

Twisted branches as they sway

Preparing for a tranquil peace

The closing to a hectic day

Daylight now is soon to cease

 

A sense of calm enshrouds the land

The faintest red and orange glow

Fading fast to westward plains

And brand new days that need it so

For now the twilight does exist

Enchanting in its grand preview

Of starry skies that light the night

The moon is moist and in full view

 

As fireflies arise in flight

Providing dance of ember gold

Stirring comes in slow recourse

Under screens of darkness told

For life complete does not suspend

Sleep to end, not commence

Shades of night fall softly still

Adding to her free suspense

 

Bewitching as the sounds present

A choir mythical in realm

To lull your eyes to focus true

As nighttime starts to overwhelm

Fear not my love, for you will see

The darkness is a friend to all

Its enchanting majesty

Glorious as the nighttime falls

 

Dusk is here, dusk is gone

Standing, waiting for its chance

In between the light and dark

Setting sun for to enhance

This is the time, for now is then

When we would wait for life aloud

To sit here in the land of love

Watching as the evening shroud

 

Makes its way across the sky

Filters out the residue

Of the day, the stress is gone

For now I lay here next to you

Smile for me so I may know

The beauty that the night conceals

For it is I who loves you so

In the magic that the dusk reveals
