As though aware
of its role as intermediary
twilight enters cautiously
assuming nothing
leaving assertiveness to its successor
knowing diplomacy as an
asset. At first unnoticed
it insinuates itself
between a day of sun and warmth
...this spring day so pleasurable
to those populating the landscape...
and the unknown darkness
of night. The transition
ripe with the stealth of guilt
depriving all who note the dismay
of another day gone
to make way for night
while twilight
slinks away
its assigned task
skillfully completed
no hard feelings
simply doing its job
sinking day into night.
