Falling Forward

Falling Forward F for the night has a thousand eyes A and the sun has been swallowed by the universe L like a tethered thing, the day reverses L let us not to ask the reasons why I in our feathered sleep, just let us say goodbye N now is the time when dark submerges G gentle sleeping songs, and whispering verses F falling forward, we can hear as the evening sighs O over the earth, and over the moon R reaching up to follow the stars W watch as the day sweeps into the stream A and angels guide it, and the crickets croon R rest your eyes, and we will drift so far… D dream, tonight of tomorrow’s schemes… ___________________________________________________________ "A Sonnet Acrostic Challenge
