Comfortable Silence

dawn loosens her grip fluttering d o w n ward into where i used to live- she peeps through emerald blades of willows weeping; a myriad of butterflies gently sway off into faraway lands… fading and barely seeing- flap flap flap - - farewell my beautiful being day releases dusk- streaming stars settle in sonorous susurration; the grey glazed moon bows his subtle head, and all the somnolent constellations shine...shine for me i drown in innocent tranquility, being all that i can be for i am but a whisper of dawn in a dalliance of dusk, leaping into daydreams and stardust- o’er the sunrise in the east is my home, amongst the crying crickets is where I rest my head; listening to their monotone spin of repetition I close my eyes and adrift the dreams nighttime offers… i sleep in comfortable silence ______________________________ January 20, 2020
