Sunset Flute

Night is near
in the Celtic realm
with nothing to fear

Before eating that dreamy fruit
let the fairies play a blissful lullaby
with the sacred sunset flute

for you'll find fulfilling gold
as your eyes slowly close
to the sounds that slowly unfold
making burdens come out in bursting flows

The fairies pray to the moon
who will watch over you
on this warm night in late June
to tuck you in moonlight, colored blue

Sunset flute, play us a lullaby
Sunset flute, help our worst nightmares die
Sunset flute, bless all under the sky

Now dance freely in the zone
To a hymn, making it your own

Set your limits on fire
Move as you desire
To fly a bit higher
So joy may transpire

You have no chorus ? And the syllables need balance? If you would listen to songs, you would know that simple rhymes are not used? Look up lyric sheets and that will give you a templet--good luck.

I really got into your poem, each stanza was soothing, a caress and I adored ' ... tuck you in moonlight.' I'm more relaxed now than I should be due to the tranquility in your poem. Enjoyed. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I wanted to come see your example. It is a lovely poem, Vermillion. I like how you identified the sunset as a flute. Wonderful creativity.
