In the Half Light of Dusk

In the half-light of dusk,
after the day has prepared
hard surfaces for inspection,
before the night has plunged
things back into themselves.
There is a settlement in which
the external and the internal are
continuous with the evening air.
If you are alone at the edge
of shadows you are not alone.
The hours of light shine in you
with a compacted energy that
also burns in tree and stone,
partly revealed and partly veiled.

- Thomas A. Clark - from The Path to the Sea
