As darkness settles in and silence fills the void--I bid farewell to the day.
Seemingly effortless the day becomes a memory slowly slipping away.
Stardust and moonbeams cover my weary face--waves of sleep are the tide.
No longer awake or able to see the last vestige of yesterday's ride.
Lying in comfort on this winters eve--I stretch upon my bed.
Pulling the quilt to cover me--I fluff the pillow beneath my head.
Thunder rolls across the sky on this dark and windy night.
The moon is full, but hidden--not a creature is in sight.
Oreo cookies swimming in milk by a beach filled with blue M&Ms.
Crackerjack bushes with peanuts and salt--with red licorice vines as their stems.
Chocolate cocoa with marshmallow topping are things that run through my head.
I am never afraid of the darkness while lying here, snug, in my bed.
I welcome the sleep which knocks on my door like a trusted and long lost friend
The day has been long and filled with trials--I thought it might never end.
Tonight I will sleep beneath the sky--the Stars twinkling beneath the moon.
I will dream the dreams of times gone by--a new day will be here soon.~Jay O.
