Serene Schemes

She rode home on a packed train
 at the peak of rush hour
 She longed for those still, silent moments
 Where she could unwind
 From the hustle and bustle of the day

 She found solace in celestial fireflies
 And the night's  dark embrace
 A  quiet  retreat from the stress of the day
 The night sky offered the calm she desired

 An escape into tranquil   dreams
   and the peaceful caress of moonbeams
 Cherishing slumber's  serene schemes
 In the twinkle of starry gleams

Oh my ! Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. When all the world is quiet, there is peace as moonbeams linger. I am placing this in my favorites. Because. :) Brandy

Often the night brings its own solace even if one is living alone. Lovely emotions.
