Twilight

 Don’t blaze o fiery light

Don’t weaken, don’t flout

Don’t burn me to ashes, yet

Don’t turn me inside out

Don’t hasten to shame me

Don’t let my imperfections show

Don’t unearth the hidden ones

Don’t fight me, don’t overthrow

Mellow down, be a soft glow

So you can reveal me no more

Let all my jaggedness remain

Let my pains be washed ashore

Manifest as the sombre twilight

Dissolve all the details, fine

Let only silhouettes remain

Let me, in all my vagueness, shine
