Carrie Richards Poet Choka

While We Are Sleeping

.


 With songs at bedtime
   moss covered carpets soften
       sounds of night music
         Soft is the cadence of dark
            as it bewitches the night


While we take our rest
    Little frogs slide down moonbeams
       And croak with delight
          taking a carnival ride
             under a full moon


I listen and hear
  each cricket chirp in the dark
    chatter and splatter,
       as they splash their tiny feet
        in pools of cool moonlit dew

Like laughing children
    insects are playing their harps
        and dancing with joy
          long past the midnight hour,
            while all the world is sleeping
