“At Twilight” by Amanda Grinstead

When the sky dons its robes of indigo

I slip into a tranquil reverie,

where shadows lengthen and soften,

and mirrors hold whispers

of ancient stories. A gentle breeze dances

through the forest like secrets,

a lullaby for my weary soul,

a gentle reminder that even in stillness

there is movement—a world in transition.

As I stand on the threshold

of day and night, I remember

the fleeting moments

of my life past by

and embrace the twilight.

Amanda Grinstead was born and raised in Albany, Ohio. She began to process her childhood & relationship trauma through stream of consciousness writing & then poetry. Her poems retell her past with unequivocal honesty and are often deeply melancholic.
