Eventide

night
please linger
such a beckon
stay with me
don't end
join my peaceful stroll
through
pages
ideas
responses

unhitch your wagon
from the moving train


float in clouds
of rest


turn off the
bells
alarms
calendar checks

cradled by stillness


oh


don't shut your eyes
make this
last
and
last
and
last




Do you ever cling to the evening, staying up WAY too late, knowing you'll be rummy in the morning - - - -just because you love owning the night?

  1. Last night I stayed up till 2:00 in the morning reading an old journal. Why do I do that to myself?! Lydia even slept much longer than usual, so I really wish I had taken advantage of the opportunity for longer uninterrupted sleep.

  2. OOps I just mistakenly deleted Martha's comment. My bad.
