Twilight time

"There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given
to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk." ~ Jean-Paul Sartre

It’s the twilight time
and a veil of serenity descends
upon the earth,
the sun lolls momentarily
over the calm waters
of a sluggish sea before
dozing off in its warm bosom.

Vistas of sylvan charm
seemed to open up on the horizon 
and a somnolent dusk pervades
every aspect of this weary world.

A sea-weary boat is tethered by the shore
like a man on his deathbed
rests at peace with himself—
      All his transgressions confessed
      and is finally free from all his concerns.
