Petals In The Grass

Slumbers of the Night

Drifting off to sleep
I feel the touch of night
Calm in it's splendor
Pure in it's existence
Cover me in darkness
Slumbers near me
Seeing beauty in it's mystery
Reward me with a dream
Of songs that birds forgotten
And keep them to myself
Humming by the birch tree
That peels a pasty white
Falling to the ground
Like snow in grasses green
Let me not wake
As I'm humming a lost tune
Of songs that birds forgotten
In deep slumbers of the night
