Sleep Tight

Dark sky sparkling with stars so bright,

field softly glowing gently showing

tall grass flowing in the pail moonlight.

And a quiet calm falls all around.

The Earth and its creatures sleeping tightly,

except a mere few echoing the faintest of sound.

And I stair up at the lively sky as far as my frail

Human eye's can see, and I wonder about him

who created all this and me.

I speak to him but not with vocal words

only the voice of my heart.

And long for an understanding of his

marvelous work of art.

The way the Moon like a perfect mirror

has been placed.

To reflect the life giving Sun that earlier

shown on my face.

The Stars hanging in place reflecting the same.

The Seas and the Oceans also receiving

and giving back the reflection of Moon

reflecting sunlight.

And I wonder still,

but for now I will,

like the Earth and its creatures be still.

And sleep tight.
