My Twilight

                     For Mrs. J

Now is the twilight
of my life
the shadows
overshadow
me.
A few
stubborn
rays cling to the gray
hairs that adorn 
my crown.

Eighty-nine years.

I have travelled far,
seen many 
wonderous sights.
Felt
life pulsing
in, around, between
through me.

When I cannot see
you as you are
I see you
as you were.
What a sight!

When the light get's too bright
I sink in the shadows
and glow
with stories of old.
Now in my Twilight.
