I sit beneath the whispering pines
when Helios seeks horizon's bed,
and watch the lengthening shadows crawl,
seduced to merge with coming night.
This hour, is when sweet solace sighs,
and I find sanctuary at last.

Yes
I believe that.
Quiet, some red wine,
and used to be with your dogs.

Beautiful sentiments, I love the imagery here.
The last line is my favorite part as well.
