Darkness begins to settle
on the city and the lake all at once,
and the colours of the sunset whittle
to a single sweeping tide of purple gray.
The reflections in the water speak most intensely
for the things that the day
could not highlight for us along our hurried way.
The lake is calm; it has all the time
to lovingly pause and blur the lines
of the austerity with which the sun defined
the landscape during the day.
The sun has set a while ago;
shadows migrate from the land
and sink in the water as the lake gathers them
in a calm; an ethereal peace pervades.
