Mystic Rose Rose Poet Quatrain

The Question

She links her eyes to the sky and places her sweet request 
"could you please shine me some light and give me some rest?"
The moon consolingly gives her consent to close her eyes 
while the stars blink advertently from their five pointed highs 

She longs for a cradle that rocks, and a good good book 
"can you give me a happy ending?" she asks with a look
but the trees in the distance only wave their branches 
perhaps the breeze has caused too many broken fences  

She sifts her dreams as if they were gifts of finest wheat 
then stirs them a little with the honey of yesterday's pleat 
Maybe she's longing for a little warmth from an old afgan 
like the one grandma knitted -  back when she was ten 

She links her eyes to the sky and places her sweet request 
"could you please cut me some slack, help me get some rest?"

The End.
