Carolina Twilight

by Staff Writer

The Carolina twilight gleams
Late January ending
The new world fades as if a dream
The ancient now transcending

Eternity can yet be found
In mystic moonlight flowing
Upon this newly shrouded ground
Its driven carpet glowing

A sacred psalm plays on the pines
In solitude I listen
Adrift upon these whispered rhymes
These melodies long missing

I stand beneath majestic arms
Lush canopies surround me
And somehow keep me safe and warm
No winter chill has found me

This holy and secluded glen
Is waiting now as ever
To guide a troubled soul to mend
And steal a heart forever

Somewhere beyond this place I fear
The world is growing smaller
Please stay it from encroaching here
And let the trees grow taller

Then some years hence someone may stand
Alone and torn asunder
And find new peace upon this land
Within this world of wonder

The Carolina twilight falls
My troubles too are fading
So I will bide and heed its call
Eternity is waiting
