Come Gentle Night by Michael Come gentle night, surround me with your starry cloak. Ease my fears and bring the peace of cricket songs. Dead orb of light, dear crescent moon, bathe me in your ivory hue. Close my eyes, that I might dream of blissful times which are no more. The damp of dew, the ivory hue, the cloak of stars I know as friends. I ask that they will comfort me and when I wake that I be cleansed. Michael Auguste~ |

Michael, This is beautiful. It's a prayer for sure, something we should utter each night before sleep. Thank you for this. Joe Lamando |

Hi Michael-- "The damp of dew, the ivory hue, the cloak of stars I know as friends. I ask that they will comfort me and when I wake that I be cleansed." a beautiful poem, sad, yet filled with the hope of a new day to come. Would that we could all fall asleep and wake, cleansed...loved this thought! |

Beautiful Michael. the cloak of stars I know as friends. I ask that they will comfort me and when I wake that I be cleansed It's amazing the power that friends have to make a dark night brighter. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

The damp of dew, the ivory hue, the cloak of stars I know as friends. I ask that they will comfort me and when I wake that I be cleansed. Free the feelings burning within The globe of friendship spins, full Intertwining rings round, sleeping prince halos of bursting stars, warming cloak {Hugs} Great poet! Sincerely, Regina |

Come, gentle night, with imagery superb that once again, sweet night, softer words are heard into the rain of yesterday, amid the sun of morrow come, gentle night, release me of all sorrow... oops, got inspired... |

Susan, thank you, sweetie (((hugs))) Nancy, thank you. I'm glad you liked this piece. (((hugs))) to you also. Tracey, yes, often our friends treat us much better than our families. Thank you Kacy, what a nice thought. Thank you, my friend. Regina, what pretty words. Thank you for them and for your dear friendship. (((hugs))) Karilea, hey, more pretty words. Thank you.
