The Nature of Twlight
When it’s neither day nor night, but somewhere in between.
When the distant horizon cannot be clearly seen.
When evenings are not quite dark, and mornings not quite light.
The natural world dwells in the time of twilight.
In the dawn, the birds drown the night away with their song.
In the evening, the birds know in their nests they belong.
In the twilight, their singing cascades across the land.
A sign that changes within nature are now at hand.
In dawn’s twilight, bats fly back into their roosts up high.
In evening’s twilight they stretch their wings, ready to fly.
At sunset the bats all depart, soaring through the air.
Twisting and turning, catching the insects flying there.
Owls and hedgehogs wake up at the setting of the sun.
Just as the honeybees know their buzzing times are done.
Twilight, a time when the natural world gets rearranged.
A time when the creatures of day and night are exchanged.
