March 26, 2018 for Vermillion Scythe's "Lullaby in the Sunset" Contest

Lull-lull-lull-a-by, my dear. Summer’s sun sinks low, rosy-streaked behind the hills; hear the soft wind blow. Lying on the velvet grass by this gentle stream, let the song I sing for you bring a lovely dream. Feel the warm breeze on your skin and your face so fair. How it lingers, like my hands which caress your hair. Sun is jealous in his sky, vanishing from view. When he leaves, he cannot be shining down on you. Birds are singing in the trees with my lullaby. Soft winds blowing, streams flowing. Let your worries fly. Let them fly away from you to the rising moon. Darling, you are safe with me. Sleep is coming soon. Simply close your pretty eyes. Always know that I will be here. My love, my dear, Your sweet dream is nigh.
