DUSK

Let go the busy things, the time is right
to lay aside the worry and the fear.
Wind down the day and open to the night.

Dusk softly creeps across and dims the light
and whispering, warns that night will soon be here.
Let go the busy things, the time is right.

The sun does not go down without a fight;
flaunts colours as we watch it disappear.
Wind down the day and open to the night.

The day’s events have stretched you to the height.
Place out of danger, goals that are sincere.
Let go the busy things, the time is right.

The stars will catch your dreams and hold them tight
and keep them bright within each crystal sphere.
Wind down the day and open to the night.

Accept the gift of rest, the morning light,
refreshed with hope, may help to make things clear.
Let go the busy things, the time is right,
wind down the day and open to the night.
