To Dreamland On Sunset's Lullaby Premiere Contest Winner

To Dreamland on Sunset's Lullaby

Gracefully the young crescent moon
ascends the sky like a cosmic tune;
replacing the drowsy pale yellow sun
sinking on a golden glowing horizon.

To dreamland on a lullaby of silvery twilight...
to dreamland floating with music of night.

Even as shadows of day seek rest,
choirs of songbirds fly home to nest.
But asleep I'll be before stars start to shine;
asleep I'll be before Venus and Mars align.

To dreamland on a lullaby of silvery twilight...
to dreamland floating with music of night.

Melodies of powder-puff pinks and baby blues,
splashed on sunset's orange-tinted hues;
gently I'll slip into a cocoon of sweet slumber,
on the wings of a celestial lullaby so tender.

To dreamland on a lullaby of silvery twilight...
to dreamland floating with music of night.

The trials of day fade gloriously to gray,
and into Sandman's restful arms I will lay.
My restless spirit is calmed from within,
serenaded by nature's soothing violin.

To dreamland on a lullaby of silvery twilight...
to dreamland floating with music of night.

Pandita, Congratulations on this excellent poem. You posted some comments today for some of my poems but I didn't know how to reply to thank you. So I read a bunch of yours. Your poems are wonderfully descriptive. I need to incorporate that into mine. Cheers Graham

I can’t tell you how pleased I was to read this gentle, lilting rhyme. Just excellent with rhyme so apt yet embedded so as to call no attention to itself. I particularly enjoyed “Even as shadows of day take rest.” I wish I had written that.
