L'aura del Campo

After sunset twilight comes [269] JayneN1

After sunset twilight comes

with a hush as winds go still,
then the deathly hours that follow
after the belltower tolls
— — — — — —
daily chores now done,
there's no sight, no sound,
as the snowy owl keeps watch
while everyone sleeps —
till breaking into our dreams,
creep soft soothing snores.
