Description

As I waited

As I waited 

for the words 

to come, 

under the great dome 

of evening sky, 

I listened to the silence, 

looked out 

to the blue 

and light 

falling to silver 

in the fading west, 

the first stars 

were heavenwards, 

the trees silhouetted, 

etched upon 

the twilight, 

hieroglyphs 

of the gloaming

lending me a clue, 

to look above,

for then

a swift 

and silent 

pair of wings, 

flickered across 

the mottled garden 

the hushed silence 

of evening grass, 

a bat, flew

across the shadowed darkness, 

across and beyond 

the stand 

of trees, 

a dog barked once, 

the distant bells 

struck nine, 

I waited again 

for the words, 

and at last 

they came

beyond the rim 

of the horizon,

through the ever 

of turning 

the circle 

of time

beneath

this wandering, 

changing, 

forever sky.
