Almost Twilight

Sitting quietly in my arm chair
legs crossed, with an aged but comfortable book on my lap

To my right, puffs of Earl Grey
alight effortlessly from my tea cup

At my feet, a salt and pepper
schnauzer naps peacefully on his side

It is almost twilight now; the sun
shall soon go out in a blaze of glory,
pulling up the covers of moonlight
until another day rises

A blended remembrance
