Gregory Richard Barden Poet Than-Bauk

Notes About The Poem

Sandman, Come

Hush, his toes creep,

          Dusting sleep, those

     Lost deep in dreams ...



His stardust strewn -

          Riding moonbeams

     To swoon the night ...



Dream-laden eyes,

          'Til eve dies, soft

     Will rise, the dawn.
