Twilight Mind

Jennifer Crow | 105 words

Magic grows in the interstices:

shadowy blades springing

from the hands of statues,

herb and root, flower and fruit

all soaking in the first light

of the moon, changes kindled

for cure or cruelty. We know less

now than we did, encroaching

darkness blurring our sureties.

Like a tide licking sandy shores,

time circles back to the ends

of beginnings, our best foot

no longer forward, our faith

conjured in silent groves.

We stand on the threshold

and admire the past’s glow

and know our own story

becomes the secret whispered

between worshippers as fireflies

spark wonder among the trees.
