At Twilight (Refrain Stanza) Poem by Gert Strydom

At first light the doves cooed me awake
and up to heaven the morning star my glance did take,
still the moon hanged silver and glittering
and for long moments I was lost in longing,
I stirred sugar into my hot tea and of you my heart did ache
and fast asleep you were in all possibility
but so intense I wanted you with me,
late the neighbours did their trip to work make
and up to heaven the morning star my glance did take.
