Moody and Vexed

Twilight descends in layered blue

Quite befitting, I suppose

For it arouses thoughts of you

So far away and yet so close

In remnant wisps and twists perplexed

Tonight the sky is moody; vexed

Time is not tangible to grip

And yet I feel it amplify

That space beyond my fingertips

Broadening twixt you and I

In remnant wisps and twists perplexed

Tonight my heart is moody; vexed

The evening sky is sullen; still

In solemn robes of cobalt hue

It draws you close against my will

And I succumb to missing you

In remnant wisps and twists perplexed

The evening air is moody; vexed

The heavy quiet tonight feels like the evening is mourning
the swift passage of summer...
...and life
