Twilight Poem by Will Human

Twilight



I am the sun that shines at night
and the moon during the day
always longing to shine my light
but always gone astray

i keep myself lost in this time
making sure that i am around
but never speaking in this rhyme
and never writing in this sound

caught in that, caught in this
a little of all the above
that only thing that i miss
is the only thing i love

trying helplessly to decide
to be the light or dark
am i the blinding heat?
or am i the cold and stark?

i choose to stop choosing
and let time run its course
deciding to be nothing
waging an inner divorce

but i am neither and all
so i do not have the choice
all that can break this fall
is to tame that chilling voice

and as the silence starts its song
i feel light and dark combine
the sun and moon now both gone
and a brand new light begins to shine

i let it flow toward me
not rushing the light itself
i decide to let it become me
completely submitting myself

i am the twilight
i have always been
it was always like this this
but i have never seen

so i will enjoy this comfort
my morning and evening star
you knew all along what i could be
but i needed to reach where you are
