Edge of Darkness

Here on the edge
Of darkness,
I would wish
Once again
For the soft
Summer scented
Twilight
With wineglass
Slippered smile
Among your friendly
Gentle voices
The which
I never thought
To lose.
There were cicadas then
Lulling me to sleep.

Here on the edge
Of darkness
I hold you close.
