Bayou Lullaby

Honeysuckle scenting the warm summer night Getting drunk on sweet old apple wine Crickets chirping their melancholy tune Rocking on the porch beneath the wandering moon Soothing sounds of the bayou flowing Warm breeze from the south winds blowing Whispering through the leaves calming Winking fireflies light up the night glowing The tinkling of wind chimes off in the distance Smell the moss from cypress trees, tall and twisted Click-ety clack, click-ety clack Faint sounds of a train coming down the track Haunting strains of a Cajun lullaby fill the air Splash in the bayou birds scatter everywhere Slowly drifting in and out of sleep While the long blue bayou shadows creep ALesiach © 07/01/2017
