As twilight descends (Villanelle)

                     Look dear, sunset cradles quiescent land,

                     Water's silent waves draw foam's rippling lace,

                     And our spirit floats beyond shore's white sand;

                     Enchanting breath, puts your hand in my hand,

                     Golden bridge paints magic on lake's surface,

                     Look, dear, sunset cradles quiescent land;

                     Like a gloaming breeze, so tender and bland,

                     Your cool touch reaches my burning face,

                     And our spirit floats beyond shore's white sand;

                     As evening descends upon quiet strand,

                     Silken darkness enshrouds our dreaming place,

                     Look dear, sunset cradles quiescent land;

                     Stars' reflections flash by divine command,

                     Two souls unite in unworldly embrace,

                     And our spirit floats beyond shore's white sand;

                     Silence's ethereal blessings expand,

                     Nature is resting in heavenly grace,

                     Look dear, sunset cradles quiescent land,

                     And our spirit floats beyond shore's white sand.
