Twilight Song
Weave a web of childhood graced with smiles and tears
I can hear my brother's laughter running
Through the years.
Down in the country of green and shadowed splendors
We are all playing, happy pretenders!
The deep purple blossoms hang heavy in the air
Twilight lasts forever without a moment's care.
Voices calling out, caught in ebbing light,
Stillness, falling suddenly as day
Melts into night.
Yes, we are gathered at a fireside's glow
The air is filled with stories of the
"Long, Long, Ago"
Her crisp clean linen smells of warm sunshine
Her voice in the darkness paints pictures
In my mind.
I can see her now, blue eyes and silver hair,
Telling the stories our loving hearts
Still bear.
Each face is ever present,
The moment lingers on,
Of such memories are woven
The heart's eternal song.
