With each night all darkness covets Daylight bids a soft goodbye, And night's blanket covers quickly Closing windows to our eyes. But in dreams all windows open setting free from night's reprise, Calling out to stars above with wishes long on hopeful tries. Appearing in the starlight swirling   Hear a shooting star's last cry, Bids farewell to night around her Burned her best, now time to die. Spirals down, truth trails behind her Falls the wisher's dream divine, Catch it careful, to be granted Need a peaceful heart and mind. 2008 sinnaminsun ... more sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun: 2008 Poems Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:07:29 GMT /section-763-sinnaminsun-2008-poems#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11896 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11896 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11896 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11884-no-title-yet https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-11884-no-title-yet this is something between inspired spittle and common spew.
