The Western Sky


As the sun sets in the Western Sky
the hay-bails let their shadows lie,
on the dry ground below. 
Birds of the prairie sing a nighttime lullaby 
as the sun scars the night sky with a red ember glow. 
The hay-bail shadows grow with each minute gone past
as the sun descends so fast.  
Beyond the distant lands it’s light sines bright, 
leaving the now in darkness; night.
As the sun sets in the Western Sky
The birds sing their nighttime lullaby and
await the morning once again. 
Another day gone by.
