Dusk Settles In

Dusk settles in
Light waning in the sky
Slate blue clouds
Weave between the peaks
Howe Sound calm, serene

The world settles into an armchair
At the end of a long day
Breathes a sigh
Takes a long draw from the wineglass
And lets the worries drift away

So peaceful
Hardly a ripple
Disturbs the surface
While the slumbering deeps below
Keep their secrets
