Dawn's Eve
deep sleep:
day’s mirth reposed in darkness.
bed snores undisturbed.
cool pillows,
cosset of silky sheets.
awakening:
dawn’s eve bestows -
exhumed mysteries,
words that breathe
from a restless book,
and undisturbed petition.
second sleep:
decompressed pillow sighs.
burdens rest on heaven’s chest.
a seed buried in quietude
illuminates on silver wings,
as my midnight eyes
close before sunrise.
