Gratitude of Dusk

My life made false start after false start
The runners were poised
The pistol was fired
And it died from the bullet

Life began when I was waiting

It began with endings

Such tremendous endings

I never thought I would see the sunset that way

Now both shoes have dropped
And I am running barefoot

Towards something
Something

And I am finding my way

The long twilight of my soul

Has come upon the stars

And notes like jazz
Incomprehensible
Are on the air

I am in the falling light

For the first time
I feel found
