quiet comes the night
easing under sunset's drape
moon and stars follow
redecorating sky paper
painting over day's burdens

Beautiful Chris!!!
Love it.
Miss ya, Teed

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

And day's burdens often need that whitewash, just in order to start a clean slate with sun up.  
Great read.  Ken

The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
