New, she draws out light
enlivens heaven’s starred cloth
that wraps all in dreams

On Dreams
Who invited you
Into my bed while I slept?
I thought we were done

n.b. I fancied torturing myself with some decent poetry and read “Billy’s Rain” by Hugo Williams. I could have chosen to put it down, I suppose.

On Daynight
As eyes gently close
Earth maintains steady motion
Spins tomorrow’s dreams

On Waking
Locked in combat
Fitful thoughts leave us flailing
Sleep slays our demons

n.b. This carving in Cley-next-the-sea is un-dated. It may be from the C18th, or possibly older, or more recent. It amuses me that St. George appears to be asleep on his dopey steed, whilst despatching the dragon.
A good kip can see off all manner of worries, even a monster like this one.

On Darkness
Out there sea and wind
Roll pebbles along the shore
Hear each one disturbed

To Sleep
Hold me in your arms
Wrap around and keep me warm
Take me to my Love
