Twilight

Poem & Painting by The Wight Soul

Taken from the book 'The Trees, from Dawn to Dusk'


The hour of half light is here,

The time betwixt day and night.

When shadows can move with a life of their own,

And the Owls will prepare to take flight.

 

Those that live in the daylight hours,

Will now creep away to sleep.

Making way for the new arrivals,

The night shift will soon start; to keep…

 

The forest a place of excitement,

For all living things that do dwell.

In the hours of darkness, when we are not there,

Make busy their time and feed well.

 

The Bats will be stretching their wings out,

The Owls will be calling aloud.

The Badgers will be busy digging,

While the Mice all hang out in a crowd.

 

The darkest hour in all twenty four,

Where the sun has gone down – the moon still to rise.

Twilight belongs to no man and no beast,

It’s the time we re-focus our eyes.




Twilight is an arboreal watercolour painting on hot pressed paper and measures 60x46cm (unframed)
