A Day Comes To a Close

A teal-blue sky begins to darken As clouds, tinged by the sun, creep above And the lights of the sky begin to darken As the day comes to a close. A soft wind silently whispers across the land While the cricket gives its nightly serenade to the earth And the birds in the sycamore close their eyes As the sun disappears below the horizon. The leaves rustle in the breeze As the stag lifts its head to look around And the moon gazes down on the sleeping land As the day turns to night. A pair of eyelids begins to close. A sleeping boy rolls over in bed, Dreaming happy dreams throughout the night Off in the land of Sleep. The stars glisten throughout the night While the land sleeps on and on And slowly, slowly The Earth turns on its celestial course Forevermore.
