Charmed Slumber

In the midst of midnight twilight 
sleep meekly fades in the moonlight. 
Umber earth and men encumber, 
nature’s chatter, charmed in slumber.
Tranquil dreams of peace, no sorrow, 
thankful for light of tomorrow.
Epic heartbeats waves break away 
warm cinders soothe the moment stay.

Your poem has a surreal, romantic quality to it, Eve. You had me thinking of "Midsummer Night's Dream." I haven't looked at the contest rules, but this is quite a lovely entry. Wishing you success! Hugs, Carolyn
