Twilight

 
Twilight

Twilight creeps up ,
catching you unawares .
The dimming world has
gone ashen , in a second !
Colours dulled , boundaries blurred.

Lo! , up in the sky ,
My sun has retired ,
drowning beyond the horizon
bathing the celestial sphere
with shades of auric orange

Lo! the planets and stars shine bright
tis now the pixie hour
bring on the fairy dust
to sprinkle on goblins
who play catch with the squealing sprites

Soon the twilight will end
The pixies will run
the sprites will hide
and goblins must defend

For the witching hour is upon us
be brave soldier, or
cower or just pretend
that there is a tomorrow
just like today !
