Dusk

I waited for you in the shadows
In the hopeful spaces of my heart
In places no one knows
I waited for you in the dark.

I saw you in the luminous light
Of a sweet late summer's day
I saw you the same day at night
In the ominous dark walking away.

I hope for you only
My heart knows that I must
I hope you will come back to me
For dawn to dispel the wistful dusk.
