Winter Twilight

From The Winter of Listening in David Whyte’s Essentials

So let this winter
of listening 
be enough
for the new life
I must call my own.
The grey mauve of twilight 
clouds the approach 
of darkness
as I watch and wait. 

Change gestating within hope:
Advent’s promise 
teases me with the solstice’s 
diminishment of darkness.

I pray to be more
capable of creating 
light 
before the darkness.

Twilight

ThunderBay
The slow diminishing
of a northern summer day
into a gentle twilight 
whispers
that night approaches. 

The heat of the day
cools softly
with caressing breezes
offering kindness
as an evening gift. 

Before the darkness
shrouds the remaining light,
an easing comfort
can be received
and shared.
