Night

The sun is setting, 
horrible dusk falls ,
more fearful than the night.

When to sleep ?

Darkness is drawing close.
Go to bed ,
sleep with no dreams,
feeling no pain,
never to wake up.
Severer will be their evenings
In the future.

Very nice. I don't sleep until very late but I sure enjoy the sleep I get because yes, the pain disappears and we get to dream. I just love dreaming!
