Shadows of the twilight resplendent in array With shaded hues of colour ending another day ~ A touch of evening magic as dusk begins to form Captured in the splendour of nature's glowing warmth. The softness of the faded light hidden in the mist Falling through the coloured shades amidst the twilight kiss ~ Encompassing the beauty found within the breeze That whispers through the shadows and rests within the trees. A shrouded path of greenery trimmed with sweet perfume Beneath the evening starlight and the shadow of the moon ~ Hidden in the splendour a garden's soft delight Adorned with pleasant fragrance glowing in the night. A flowing stream that disappears beneath the cobblestones Part the mists that now surround the house that sits aglow ~ As gardens form the beauty of colourful array In mauves and blues and greenery in a sweet floral display. Fragrant in the twilight the evening's soft perfume Wafting through windows that flows into the rooms ~ Of the house adorned in beauty that some come to depend On the warmth that by the fire is found at the day's end. A happiness within the walls that surrounds this home Standing in its splendour will never be alone ~ The shadows of the evening brings fragrance to the air As the garden finds abundance to which nothing can compare. Sweet floral beauty petals in the wind Falling from the heavens shadows from within ~ An overflowing essence parted by the mist Found within the babbling stream of nature's soft caress. Evening shadows fall upon the path that leads the way To the door of sweet abundance at the end of another day ~ Mists entwined in splendour a fragrance of delight Embracing hues that welcome dusky shades of night. © Christina 12th June, 2003
