Evening Clouds

When evening clouds are glory hued
and day comes to an end
activity is more subdued
as light and darkness blend
it’s time for rest absolved of care
a truly precious time to share
it’s time for rest
it’s time for rest
as evening comes like silent prayer

When evening clouds are glory hued
all ready for the night
this is a time for solitude
in this declining light
peaceful moments that are needed
tomorrow’s woes are unheeded
peaceful moments
peaceful moments
when the daylight has receded

When evening clouds are glory hued
and light leaves with a sigh
the rising moon now can be viewed
with twinkling stars nearby
a last farewell to day well spent
serenity that’s heaven sent
a last farewell
a last farewell
an ambiance of sheer content
