I want to be kissed by golden light.
Touched by the last rays of the day.
And finish my day thinking through what was,
While letting my mind wander to what could follow.
The light dips further, the glow begins to dim.
Fading. Dissolving.
What was clear and crisp begins to merge in the darkness.
Then there it is!
That one remaining golden shaft piercing through the shadows.
And that final kiss goodnight.
