In Sleepy Bay - Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

now tethered to dreams 
      unhooked 
     from 
the 
    day
suspended with e a s e
   above my own milky way
 I surrender my thoughts
      let them
  drift & swirl
    my armour removed 
  reveals
     just a tired little girl

               no recollection of youth
     or of such a safe space
  leave me blanketed in flowers 
       dressed in ribbons and lace 

       for morning will come
    disappear delicate cocoon 
and I fear I'll never again
     be healed 
         by the light 
of the moon

     so please let me sleep
           guard with gentle gaze 
                so that I wake beautifully rested 
           bathed in 
     sunny 
      morning 
   rays
