Dusk

Hi Billy, I'm posting my poem here. There seem to be two threads. I saw another by Michael. I'm fairly new here, so a bit lost.
Kenneth and Eira nominated it, I've already thanked them in the other thread.
My weekends tend to be complicated, as I have a chronic health problem that slows me down. So I'm posting it now in case it gets chosen.
Dusk
Let us walk, hand in hand,
when shadows
stretch across the land
like a black cat
waking from its lethargy.
Let us walk
along soothing paths
of Night
who lays her cool lips
on our scars.
Night saturated with silences.
Neither veil nor falsehood:
breezes waft fragrances
of white roses
on that predictable pinewood;
I foresee the fistful of earth,
I know the limit
that dusk intimates.
Let us walk: night is soon.
For a few instants,
still,
reality will be dissolved
under the tepid providence of the moon.
