Twilight ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #93

When the sun has left the sky
Impending night encroaching
On the very edge of dusk
Colours of refraction
Upon the sea reflected

I draw a breath
Feel the cool
Know the day
Is past

Transient Light
Magic Light

Under an empty sky
But for the lonesome crescent

And I
Becalmed
On the quiet sea
Furl my sails
Start the engine
Turn for home

To which I bring
This peaceful moment

In this land of
Oh-so-pretty
The comings and
The goings become
As much the point of travel
As arriving

Diminutive
Am I within
This grand design
Of laws and matter

Such that I
Go travelling
A great expanse
Or one so seeming

In truth
A journey of
A thousand miles
Is hardly more than one

In a universe
Far wider still
Than light
Has ever gone

Magic hour
In a land
Of no small magic
Conspires to create
Tableaus of beauty
Inimitable

I dream of corridors
Every one different
But all the same

The light is soft
Though harsh
Streaming in
Through doors
All open
On the right

An inviting light
Nonetheless too bright
And as I tread
Ever-so-gingerly
Down the corridor

I pan the camera
180 degrees
Seawall to Seawall
From Lions Gate span
Into Eastern sun
Morning fog
Laying low

Three times
A pair of runners
Find the frame
One time coming
One time going
And one time
In a fractured flash
As they pass before me

There are so many places
Wanderlust takes me
And every one
Brings out
Another
Me

Sometimes I feel
Beyond my flesh
Sense the world
And its beings

Not by touch
Nor sight
Nor sound
Not by smell

Like a sphere of presence
A sphere of influence

Because others
Feel me, this way

And I feel them

Like I know them
