In the quiet depths of twilight's embrace,
Where shadows dance and soft whispers trace,
There lies a yearning, tender and deep,
For a distant dream that eludes sleep.

It's the silent song of a star's soft glow,
A wish upon the night that none may know,
The heart's quiet plea for a touch, a sign,
From a love that's lost, or never was mine.

This longing, a flame that burns without end,
Guides me through the dark, an unseen friend,
It's the ache for a place I've never seen,
A world beyond worlds, where I might have been.

In the hush of the night, I reach for the stars,
Stretching my soul to heal unseen scars,
For a moment of magic, a breath of life,
Beyond the reach of turmoil and strife.

Yet, in the dawn's light, I find my release,
Accepting the heart's ineffable peace,
Embracing the longing, I let it be,
A part of my being, wild and free

Murillo Kollek.
