Singing Stars
Lying is rest 'neath the smiling sun
I listened to it's laughter
While cheerful beds of waving flowers
had me grinning at their chatter

For quite some time the dancing clouds
drew murals in the sky
While the fluttering wings of hummingbirds
rode on remnants of a sigh

As nightfall came, a crispy scent
drifted in on a delicate breeze
The glowing horizon, stained with red
was highlighted behind the trees

The dusky sky held singing stars
while the sun took it's nighttime nap
I was cradled by their lullabyes
when I heard the sandman's rap

A smile formed on my contented face
as I drifted off to sleep
For I could hear those singing stars
praying for my soul to keep
