Evening Comes Softly

The evening softly covers our world
The night sky is lit with stars untold
Fireflies flicker and dance in the night
Crickets and frogs chirp out of sight

Summer nights are warm and balmy
The mountains are blanketed in soft grey cloud
The moon peeps over the horizon
Giving us hope and a reason

Silver droplets of dew on the trees
Wafting sweet jasmine along on the breeze
The owls cry in the trees above
The whispers of lovers expressing their love!

The dawn will soon take back the day
And boldly her colors display
On the horizon of canvas painted in gold
A new sun rises with hope untold!
