Sleeping Somewhere New

When you are sleeping somewhere new the blanket of the night askew the sounds of silence tuned to change your thoughts and dreams to rearrange Those garden walks for moonlit skies to set upon your weary eyes horizons yet unseen to take to run and tumble when you wake So nature’s palette paints once more Just as a sailor waves to shore adventures now, so much to do when you are sleeping somewhere new

'the blanket of the night askew' -- love that line -- Given that, this is so optimistic and cheerful. Great write, Mike. Pleasant dreams, Gershon

I hear a bit of melancholy--night askew---dreams rearrange--weary eyes. Quite an evocative write, Mike--perhaps a hello or a goodbye to voices of love. Well delivered, as always.
