Nocturne

 


                                        HYPNOS


In the night when the winds whisper and blow

Shadows sway and dance in my dark bedroom

A paper moon swings among the branches


I rise up, look down on myself sleeping

Pirouette with my floating ballet troupe

They dissolve and vanish but reappear


Turn into a mist , slide through a window

Become a fairy light in the garden

Twinkle and shimmer on purple violets


Throw a lasso on stars , pull them nearer

Rise up and glide on the billowing cloud

Reaching up to perch on the crescent moon


Doze off and tumble down slip into clouds

Bump on stars , land among the dancing lights

Into my soft bed , inside my body
