just beyond the shadows
an orphaned light goes dim
and in the moment after –
sweet release
of solitude
and settled in
the burdens of the day
are swirling now –
ashes in my cup

cedar squeaks
in loving sigh –
perilous surrender
purged a place of darkness
from my thoughts
slowly then –
a favored hymn
rises from my center
to warm against the cool
that is the night

. . .
