A Golden Afternoon

by Sugarray77

I'm wrapped inside a golden afternoon
while watching fat clouds float across the sky,
as droning bees sing summer's lazy tune.

and midst the blushing roses of late June,
with redolence and perfume floating by,
I'm wrapped inside a golden afternoon.

Gray doves, perched high, begin their mellow croon
above the flitting amber dragonfly,
as droning bees sing summer's lazy tune.

My hammock is my world, my own cocoon,
an island swaying on a lullaby;
I'm wrapped inside a golden afternoon.

Although the twilight's shadows will come soon,
I brush away the thought and close my eyes,
as droning bees sing summer's lazy tune.

Beneath a silver slipper of a moon,
my thoughts recline and melt into a sigh;
I'm wrapped inside a golden afternoon,
as droning bees sing summer's lazy tune.
