Color Me Lonely

Once the sun sets over Lake Yvette the sky takes on a subdued tint, filtered through a green

Glass, vintage Coke bottle. Stillness supersedes movement in the magic time between 

Day and night. No leaves rustle. No animals stir. Deep silence permeates until broken

By the trill of a lone bird. Here I am, he calls. I rule the evening. Hear my plea, oh Lord.

I try to answer him, but we speak different dialects of the same language. Hear me, I cry. Nothing more.

    but, and a but there will always be

    where the interior rhyme be ?
