Evening Light

An evening light
not so very bright
as hardened shadow's kiss
nor so dark
that as in night's embrace
I deeply fall asleep again.
That evening light
that slows down time
as homeward many race
to slumber
in our dream like beds.
It brings with it such a peace
such as in complete
completion ends
and knowing It is
and all else
that in Its light appearance seems
is imagined in that bliss.
