TWILIGHT

In our weariness we glimpse

that more than our years have made us old,

and sometimes the dusk falling

becomes dusk of the very world

itself, and not only ours.

For the mistakes we made are echoing

the mistakes of our species; flaws

chiselled deep in our being

during the long, hard paths

we took through uncounted lives.
