Sunset Lullaby

Slumber sets on tired eyes As sun is dying in the skies A golden hue in distant gleam Will settle gently in my dream The final kiss of sunshine's glow Cast silhouettes in indigo The fading of the last sunbeam Will settle gently in my dream The sky transforms into cerise And lingers with a song of peace Then purple shades will softly stream And settle gently in my dream Day then makes its curtain call With a splendor that enthralls And lullabies will dare to scheme And settle gently as I dream »» 3-7-18
