Who Watches the Dusk?
Who watches the tendrils grow and uncurl?
Who watches the rose-buds glow and unfurl?
Who watches the robin flash in the drizzle?
Who watches the robin splash in the puddle?
Flap – and hop – and look – and be gone?
Who watches the drizzle slowly subside?
Who watches the clouds be blown and turn bright?
Who watches the rainbow glimmer and blink?
Who watches the rainbow shimmer and shrink?
Flash – and stretch – and fade – and be gone?
Who watches the dusk?
Who talks to the birds?
Who gropes for the spring?
Who smells the wet earth?
Who frees up the time?
Who fills out the space?
Who walks with the wind?
Who offers his face?
Who watches the dusk?
Who talks to the birds?
Who gropes for the spring?
Who smells the wet earth?
Who frees up the time?
Who fills out the space?
Who walks with the wind?
Who offers her face?
