On a Summer’s Eve
Beneath the vast heavens, awash with the stars, The earth breathes softly, unmasked by its scars, In this quiet moment, as day bids goodbye, The whispers of evening draw a sweet sigh.
Fireflies flicker, like gems in the dusk, Painting the shadows with elegance husk, While night crickets chirp in a rhythmic spree, A tapestry woven by nature’s decree.
So rest here a while, in this solace divine, Let the warmth of the twilight, converge with your spine, For in summer’s embrace, when the day meets the night, The world is a canvas, a magical sight.
