Twilight

Larry Stallings

I sit in the backyard and watch the glorious sun set
Even though out of site, It's still there I bet
Streakes of color adorn the sky for a long time
To remind me it's still there even though out of time

Are humans ever out of time in the mind of God
Or are we just out of sight responding to the Creators nod
May all those we love know we will continue to stay
Just out of sight but known by glowing like the suns ray
