Bloggers' Annual (Silent) Poetry Reading

I'm a day late, but here it is, a poem I wrote by moonlight one night when I couldn't sleep.


Ears buzzing with thought left to think,

restless mind

Can't sleep,

too bright

Milky moonlight through my window beckons

must get up, she is calling

Crack the blinds, moon-shadows cast on my floor

Tiptoe to the living room, bare windows for moon-watching

Low clouds rushing by, but where have they got to be at this hour?

They dance across the face of Mistress Moon, Mistress Moon...

Sleep well, she says

whispers, calms, Sleep well

All is right

Deep breaths, calming

Time to sleep

All is right
