The sunlight whispers on my cheek
A golden warmth a soft mystique
Dogs lay stretched in sleepy loops
The world dissolves in quiet swoops
Dreams of gold beneath the rays
Beneath the skies of endless haze
The erhu hums a mellow tune
Dancing softly with the afternoon
Close my eyes the world withdraws
A warbler sings with no applause
The grass a bed the breeze my guide
The sun my quilt where I confide
Dreams of gold beneath the rays
Beneath the skies of endless haze
The erhu hums a mellow tune
Dancing softly with the afternoon
Drifting slow where time suspends
Each sigh of air a hand contends
Floating free in this embrace
Chasing calm in sunlight's grace
Twilight comes but leaves a trace
Of warmth etched softly on my face
Memories stitched in fading light
A gift of sun a sweet delight
Dreams of gold beneath the rays
Beneath the skies of endless haze
The erhu hums a mellow tune
Dancing softly with the afternoon
Dreams of gold beneath the rays
Beneath the skies of endless haze
The erhu hums a mellow tune
Dancing softly with the afternoon
