Prelude To a Dream

In the hazy, scarlet radiant glow of evenings dusk When the air is filled with the faint allure of musk Before the first stars of twilight begin to shine And a balmy summer breeze feels so divine Amidst the ebony silhouetted branches of a tree Where fluttering birds both wild and truly free Sing passionate songs as they retire for the night And fill the air with intoxicating voices of delight The seduction of a cascade’s calming tune Reflecting the first light of the rising moon And the whisper of a soothing murmuring stream A tranquil lullaby and prelude to a dream And as the light surrenders to the stars To galaxies far beyond Sun and Mars The delicate memories of day begin to fade Until slumber overtakes the serenade
