twilight
that narrow band
of dark
and light
what is
into
what will
be
if there is
a difference
between
what has
and
what has been
twilight
describes
it best
what can be
what will be
where
and
when
twilight
reflects
the past
determines
the present
invents
the future
inventive God
determinedly told us
in
the reflective beginning
there was
the word
let it be
significant light
out
of indignant darkness
everything
out
of nothing
and back
again
like
a silent prayer
conjuring
alpha
into
omega
directives
of amen
inventing
one
thing
then another
heaven
and earth
heaven
and hell
deep wells
from whence
all
things
must pass
from light
into
darkness
and back
again
and
again
and
again
ten
times
ten
times
ten
again
and
again
and
again
like the remedial sun
eclipsing
the recluse moon
till
cruel death
do us
part
just
as finial midnight
surely
counts
down
to exponential noon
