Changing Sky

Come, watch with me my darling child, before you go to bed Here, hold my hand, while evening comes and takes the day away Evening shadows tiptoe to what the sun has said And now it's time to listen to what the moon will say Here, hold my hand, while evening comes and takes the day away We'll watch the sun dip gently, in the cooling twilight air And now it's time to listen to what the moon will say All the daytime weary creatures, have gone to nest and lair We'll watch the sun dip gently in the cooling twilight air Let's be witness to the fire that burns in evening's sky All the daytime weary creatures, have gone to nest and lair While twilight paints it's crimson colors on a canvas vast and wide Let's be witness to the fire that burns in evening's sky Time suspends as if one moment, in this fragile hush of time While twilight paints it's crimson colors on a canvas vast and wide And then we'll see the faintest trace of stars begin to climb Time suspends as if one moment, in this fragile hush of time So gently, watch the dark erase the last of fading light And then we'll see the faintest trace of stars begin to climb Enclosing us within the change, of shadows of the night So gently, watch the dark erase the last of fading light Evening shadows tiptoe to what the sun has said Enclosing us within the change, of shadows of the night Come, watch with me my darling child, before you go to bed... ____________ 6//26/13
