Summer Night


golden sun descends
painting skies with fiery blends~
daylight softly ends

crickets chirp at night
stars start to swiftly ignite~
summer gentle light

silver moon in sky
with smiling stars, it does vie~
nature`s lovely tie

warm air on the skin
whispering with a sweet spin
summer nights begin

green fireflies twinkle
high up light softly sprinkles~
night slowly dwindles.
