In the evening light

A time of perfect calm Still light reflecting
on an estuary Purple shadows
surrounding my presence As I dream of
being close to you

A time of perception in the brightness
of a fading day A last kiss of the sun
Night, in the splendor of deep purple descending
And I think of you

Here, alone, but complete in love
Shadows closing in I quietly long for
a passionate night My mind taken up
with thoughts of you

Silvered reflections on the water
As I gaze out beyond the horizon
Seeing you there just beyond my reach
And reaching out Stretching my mind
I feel your nearness Love speaks that way
In the evening light
