Moonlight

With red and purple sunset
melting into blackened sky

The hummingbirds have bedded down
and shortly so shall I

As crickets sing their lullaby
into a dream I fall

The things of night begin to stir
at moonlight's beck and call

No, not for a contest. I was looking some of those over but I'm not sure I'll enter any. I appreciate your support though! Many thanks for your nice thoughts PS! :)
