Ready To Sleep

Slowly, silently along the shore,

a wash of waves whispers, watching the sun

pause before drifting into a soft slumber. It slides out

of sight, ready to sleep. The moon meanders past a

sprinkle of stars. A shift shared, but, only for a moment.

Protecting the sleeping tide, a proud mother

shares light with the lost, guiding those without

hope. Dark clouds loom, but they don’t stand a chance.

There is strength in numbers, and a team of brightness

has a power all its own.

  6. Thanks so much for participating, dear Diana. I love imagining what you imagine in this personification of such lovely ephemeral moment. 

    “The moon meanders past a

    sprinkle of stars…only for a moment.

    Protecting…those without hope.” 

    It’s such a soothing world when seen with such tender eyes that see beyond what’s there. And to have these imaginings linger until you close your eyes for sleep makes for happy slumber. I just love it. Thanks dearly for drawing me into your window view. Lovely. Bless you.
