Echos of the Night

Breezes in the air,
echos of the night
wind swept sky,
branches swaying away.

White clouds touching
the black velvet sky,
causing me to go back
to younger days as a lad.

Storm a coming tonight
or may pass us by
cooling off from a hot day,
sweet smell of twlight
brings on dreams of
better days.

So in a trance of
this charming delight
will cause me to
sleep well tonight.

I love the cool night breezes also. Much needed here in this 100 degree weather. Great write.
