Blue Dark, Dark Blue

As children we called twilight "blue dark"

The sky is never as lovely as then

Like you and I it strives

Inked in indigo

Never blue enough--just blue

Daylight receding

Night waiting on the stoop

Oh, how long ago it seems

Living only in memories, old photographs,

And echoes of mother calling us inside

For a supper already cold

Oh, deep sky

Lit with faint, distant embers

Help me

It's getting dark

And I'm growing a deeper blue

I liked this a lot. Some lovely memories and a twist at the end. Beautiful work
