Sunset Lullaby

Approachable the heavens, upon mound of heightened sphere, bid you closer to the atmosphere. Starlight in singsong. Lungs of operetta moon strong. A white veil cascades over your intricate ark. You sail the calm seas of blue with heaven’s spectacular crew. The open jars of lightning bugs. Sunflowers on bended knees. Your eyelids in crescentic freeze. Dreamy colors inflame your mind, as the days playfulness you rewind. Sweet infusion of colors collaborate ~ watermelon, honeydew, and lemon. The flicker of twilight slowly fades. Daylight wanes behind your shades. 3/7/18 Vermillion Scythe’s Lullaby In The Sunset Contest

This one should be set to a rhythm, slow, and pretty. I especially liked the open jars of lightning bugs. This made me think.
