MITCHEL MONTAGNA
Twilight

Twilight is the longest time
And still, it moves too fast
We hear its tones of darkness chime
then moonlight beams at last
Colors deepen, soon to fade
Dense fog rolls up a hill
Sorrow hovers in the shade
as if a numbing chill
We cling to rafts of memory
We’re yanked around the bends
pummeled by an angry sea
By night, our fever ends
And so, regret then quickly came
Horizons dimmed from sight
The past burned to a glowing flame
consuming dark and light
