Sleepy heads and sleepy limbs,
speak soft, the fall of night.
Darkened quilts of nighttime sky,
coax from the world, all fight.
Shall I sing a melody?
the night wind whispers soft.
Or, read a cozy bedtime tale?
on branches, high aloft,
the fairies perch on shivering twigs,
their hands caress the leaves.
The trembles still in peaceful night,
Sleep well, oh mighty trees!
This is just so lovely and peaceful! Thank you for sharing!

You are a very talented poet.
ReplyDeleteIf I were to describe this poem in one word--It'd be 'cool',for that's what I felt when I thought about night.
