Jerrilynn

Summer's Eve

Lay upon the soft grassy hill
Hear the crickets' chirp so shrill
Smell the sweet summer scent
I never knew how much this meant.

Finger caressing a petal of pink
Sun bids adieu with a playful wink
Brilliant crimson splashes the sky
Twilight arrives in the blink of an eye.

Darkness descends upon God's hand
Silence settles across the land
Lay me down upon the earth
Stars twinkle gaily in their mirth.

Behold a sky so full of life
Sheer beauty cuts as a knife
Frogs sing their song forlorn
Velvety grass the dew adorns.

Sliver of moon hanging so low
Bathing lovers in its milky glow
Summer heat spurs their ardor
Hearts' cadence beating harder.

Shadows entwine, lips touch
Owls keeping silent watch
Senses awaken, his hands lay claim
Holding her close, murmurs her name.
