[Poem] Sunset Dunes at 5 p.m.

Sunset Dunes at 5 p.m.

by Katherine Hodge

Enfolded into heaven’s sunset
Laced along beauty’s coast–
A kiss of blooming fire that singes all fear–
You remind me this evening of what will be
and what I am not

Thank you for this imperfect surrender,

your death, this death,

my death to come–

All God's lavish truth
