Sunset Lullaby
What words ride on the air
where once lay dreams bared;
musings of life gone by
playing rhythm to the lullaby.
Clouds begin to fade
sliding toward the end of day,
and in the dark stages of twilight
dreams are resurrected in the night.
Soft melodic blends
bring on the sleepiness at days end
and safe in mother's arms
the child rests safe, unharmed.
Where soothing calm ensues
and memories profuse
of setting suns and rising moons
lullabys by which to swoon.
Play on, play long and well
the futures hold hidden spells
of soothing comforting chords
of lullabys embracing life's rewards.
Near the end of time
when all life begins to slowly unwind;
a final sunset unfolds and glows
as the wind whispers soft and low.
Sun setting on the horizon
burning out, slowly demising
flares rise high
in the final sunset lullaby.
