MELLIFLUOUS DREAMS

As the balmy night stretches on

The warm air a protective cocoon

Jasmine breaths drift into my being

Crooning a soothing tune

The moon peeps out from a veil of white

To keep its nightly vigil

Shhhh!, dear moon just tiptoe around

I'm dreaming of my angel

The white orb submits to inky hues

Broken by the flush of red

The stars fold up their fairy lights

Strung on slender silver thread

The lightening canopy stretches its limbs

Shrugging off its tranquil slumber

Shhhh! Dear sun, rest a moment more

I'm dreaming of my angel.
