In the hush of twilight,

shadows stretch and yawn,

the last light lingered on edges,

where silence wraps the world.

Breath held like a secret,

waiting for the final sigh,

a gentle slipping, a soft departure,

as roots entwine with dust.

Moments dissolve like whispers,

echoes fading in the vastness,

and laughter drifts away,

leaving only the taste of twilight.
