TWILIGHT

Seeming, balanced on a razor’s edge,
The difference between either side, completely stark,
For this place that tricks the eye and mind,
Cannot be invaded by either light nor dark.

Even when taper is put to wick,
The candle refuses to glow,
Under it’s influence, a falling rock,
In it’s descent can seem to slow.

Twilight, the hinterland,
Penumbra at it’s most intense,
Impossibly arresting time,
As the terminator speeds on west.

"penumbra"

This unusual word describes the 'shady and shadowy', but beautiful and illuminated mind of Andrew, full of alacrity and unfathomable, vintage Andrew, thanks...

one of those moments i suspect andrew, when you look over what you have written and you say, yes, the pen expresses, what the mind thinks, and the heart feels, it hit the page running, and it works.
