Clouds in Twilight

By Mary Churchwell

Clouds in Twilight is a short collection of poems written by Mary Churchwell. While some are lighthearted and whimsical, many are deep and meaningful. Being directly related to a real person or a dog and their personal story. Some border on the dark side, as in Farewell, Canine Brother. It was written in Tribute to a loyal and (perhaps) too wise dog that gave its life in order for its owner to gain the courage, to walk away from an abusive relationship. The poem Nightmare Land pertains to a young man, overdosed on drugs. The Old Man and His Dogs was an actual event as seen through the author's eyes.

All of the people and the dogs were real. Now being deceased. So the title Clouds in Twilight seems most fitting, to convey the depth of emotion that the author felt while composing each poem.

The author invites you to use your imagination a bit, if you cannot relate personally. But she believes you can as there is something here for everyone.

You may askare there more? She can assure you that there are many more.

Mary Churchwell

Lord, when it’s my time, I’ve only one request

It’s all I need, to give me peace and rest.

I don’t need the streets paved in gold

Nor diamonds and rubies to admire and hold

Just all the little angels, I found down here
