DuskCome.
Sit.
Rest.
Listen to the wind
as it blows gently
down the mountain
and rustles the leaves
in a lullaby.
Close your eyes
and breathe
the sweet fragrance
that has waited here
for you all this time,
waiting for you
to come,
and sit,
and rest.

Tom - You have taken me to a lovely place. How refreshing!
Hi Tom,
I could sit there myself!
Tom, this is such a peaceful poem...about the most peaceful time of day, and you brought back a rich memory of when I was the new kid on my street....30 years ago this summer! One of the elderly gentleman, a widower, a few doors down, used to sit on his front lawn in one of his old fashioned "fifties" metal chairs..and if I happened to be walking my dog...he would ask..."Won't you come sit down a few minutes? I am watching the evening come in." Last night, around eight, it was still light...but the air was cool and the light magical. I was walking my dog and went past Dr. Isbell's lawn...and I just paused and "watched the evening come in."
you've trnsported me to a different place. and place of peace and rest and tranquility.
Such a lovely poem..I feel that I am there, and welcomed!
I can just smell it!
