Sunset Lullaby

Upon leaves of gold, orange and brunette,
I lay with backpack as my pillow asset.
As air touches me, smooth as any duvet,
cascading songs sing from a drowsy sunset:

Mountain sleep-persuasion strong sways treetops in cradlesong. Lay down contents of your daylong - wake the morn to sweet birdsong. Rest in mountain’s majestic lure, in pure sunset breezes demure touchingly tucking you secure while stars twinkle sleeps allure. Rest as night sounds of content wrap you in natures melodic intent. Trees give loft to cares ascent as sunset grabs peace’s descent. Rest easy under night’s canopy vocalized in sunset’s rhapsody, and trilled in twilight’s pageantry, to bring dreams of prime fantasy. Sleep sweet in sunset’s essence under the galaxy’s guard presence. Feel sunset’s alluring radiance rock you soft thru night’s cadence. Mountain sleep-persuasion strong sways treetops in cradlesong. Lay down contents of your daylong - wake the morn to sweet birdsong.

Oh, John, I want to be there, too! Maybe we should arrange a Soup camp out ... I wrote this thinking of the mountains in Pennsylvania, but we won't even consider the logistics. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
