Summer Dusk

by: Seraph

the sun is warm on my back

the crickets chirp from the trees around me,

the blue sky is cloudless,

no reminder of the storms that have passed

the birds sing, cicadas chant

a light summer breeze

blows the trees

leaves drift daintily down to the ground

the sun sets on the skyline

behind a row of tall trees

I look around, not a house in sight

no sign of life

except for the sign posts.

its a summer night like this,

that makes you forget your worries,

makes you sit and wonder of nature.

the majestic green hills

set beneath the tie-dyed blue and orange sky

say goodbye

then gradually pulls up its blanket

deep dark blue in colour

and slowly drifts to sleep,

turning on its night lights

signalling for the world

to stop and sleep

the night away
