when the first leaves turn gold or red
and city sounds are absorbed by
the sighing earth or
dark blue floor of stars
their tip-toes quiet around
an unfinished moon:
this is the grey o’clock of shadows
between today and morrow, duty and rest
first moment of oblivion and
the last conscious thought,
definition and obscurity,
surrender and resistance:
if one could have this space
as the last space in their life
So clear and beautiful! Superb!

“…grey o’clock of shadows” Wonderful! Aw man! I’m going to use that in my life. It’s just brilliant! I will credit You, of course!!! But I’ll think of that late in the afternoon from now on. So lovely. The whole poem. Thank You, Vera! 🙂
