Listen To the Twilight
Shhh.... Let us listen to the sun go down........
Here, take my hand, don't say a word,
as the day says one last farewell
Evening shadows softly dwell, as purple fades to gray
Let us listen, ever closely, to what the moon will say
Hold my hand, and come with me
It will take your breath away
We can watch the sun kneel slowly, as if in evening prayer
The flowers folding petals, and birds tuck heads beneath their wings
The daytime weary creatures, have gone to nest and lair
While twilight paints it's canvas wide with brilliant crimson flair
Be witness to the fire that grows so vast and wide
Then listen very closely, to what the stars confide
It is all about us slipping, into realms of blissful sleeping
While twilight paints it's canvas, wide and sweeping
Let's be witness to the fire that smolders until it's gone
Time suspends this moment, in a fragile voice of song
We'll see the faintest trace of moon begin to climb
So gently, watch the dark erase the light
Enclosing us within the voice of night
Shh.... let us listen to the weary sun go down........
Listen ever closely, to what the moon will say
Listen, as this day must slip away
Shhhh…….
