Twilight Poem by Bob Blackwell
Twilight
That time between
light and darkness,
when twilight reigns,
long soft shadows,
at life’s dusk, is the
beginning of our end.
On our mindscape
light, grey, and dark
clouds reappear, as
shaded memories of
sunny spells, storms,
future low depressions.
In our minds eye,
pretty coloured
patterns formed
bring a smile, a
tear, a angry flash
a thunder roar,
a happy sunny face.
From sunset,
evening time
we learn
how times of rest
bring peace to mind,
that dark clouds
can be dissolved.
As our sun settles on
edge of world, it
collects our problems,
dissolves them
into the mist of time,
to rise once more
at dawns moment;
renewed, unsullied,
clean and fresh,
to light a
different world.
Beautiful! ! ! Specially the Last stanza is very beautiful.. I feel this is the loveliest poem I have read of yours sir... It is like 6 p.m here, I just woke up after a nap, and turned to your page Very good, kind of had a soothing effect.. without the peace of mind, man can turn in to a mad person.. 10 regards shan.

The first stanza itself reflects the mood and theme of the poem so eloquently! The poem also breathes hope and rekindles our hidden aspirations, - yearnings for a better world beyond time, - having reached the twilight hours of our lives! 10 ++ -Raj Nandy
As ever, you stand tall as a poet. I loved, As our sun settles on edge of world, it collects our problems, dissolves them into the mist of time, to rise once more at dawns moment; renewed, unsullied, clean and fresh, to light a different world. Very well concluded. CP
Again you show us the sunset of hope and the promiss of a new tomorrow Thank you.
The magical imagery of twilight is captured in this beautiful poem. You are a rare wordsmith. Bob. How wonderful to know that when the last dusk has been written lights will come on in another world.10/10. As always, Sandra
