Moonbeams reflect off the water’s edge
Reminding me that starlight reaches down
To caress my skin with a sense of regret
Knowing how the longing for contentment
Keeps me buried beneath sheets and quilts
~
Whispers of silence collect within my spirit
These are the moments that are dreaded
Flickers of gleaming rays bend to touch me
Keeping me within their grasp, like an echo
Forever sending back sentiments of restlessness
~
Anxious thoughts drift in and out of my conscious
Revealing soft ideas that promise to accept me
In spite of all the reasons my mind keeps exposing
For there are times like this when every thought
Brings with it ~ colors of ebony nightmares resonating
