Time To Sleep

The clock strikes twelve o’clock I fear the evening’s tirade The moon escapes its pod But the time still stays the same Does the night air penetrates me As I enter the realm of sleep Will you become before me And protect every pore of my side You reach my highest stride Over and under the night sky Where the sun never penetrates As I dream beyond time’s cry Emma Sivey
