Twilight

How I wish this twilight
would hold here forever
with sun not starring bright
having all the varied hues
that flickering dim light
that lets you see horizon
holding back dark night
for as long as possible

How I wish this sky
will always have colors
where varied birds fly
to their homes nests
to give it another try
for little ones to get wings
reach in expanse, fly
beyond the visible horizon

How I wish this sea
always reflects these hues
with little glimmer to see
the distant boats arrival
visible in horizon as wee
and growing as it nears
to be with family for tea
and enjoy feel of home

How  I wish this earth
is always cool like this
waiting for night's birth
holding to precious little
moments for they are worth
any price more than gold
to pay there is no dearth
but the time never holds

How I wish this time
would stop here now
let me soak music, chime
in a moment for self
taking it is no crime
when a light wind blows
but does not stop for dime
but let me try and hold time
