A Nocturne In Verse

In twilight's silhouette I rock my mind to sleep
An effort to release me to a slumber so deep 

The mystique of dreams unfolds in the night
A canvas peacefully painted in the faint moonlight

Far-reaching sensations in a hypnotic trance
Settle into serenity after light’s last glance

Counting grains of white sand as time in retreat
Next to sweeping fields full of golden wheat 

Light-hearted reality sways in the breeze
My relaxed mind drifts through nocturnal seas

Paying homage to the effort it took to get here
Relinquishing power to an idyllic rest I hold dear

My mind striking a melodic chord in rhythmic tune
Dancing with the moon until sun’s morning boon
