Come Down in Dusk

Come down in dusk

come down in silence

through the vespertine shadows

from the high vernal falls

to the meadow in twilight

to the wildflower meadow

from the high vernal falls

come down in dusk

on the sojourner trail

past the boulders in ruin

to the evening meal

to the earthenware bowl

come down in silence

come down in dusk

past the inlaid moss

under raiments of pine

with remnants of sun

in your dark-dusted hair
