this was written in response to a phrase challenge given to Poet de Vine. I've changed the words somewhat to fit my metre. The originals words were Goodnight...tonight I am too sad.Good night, too sad I am tonight Encompassed by the night, I will sit in fright So I will take the pills I must, Sleep the sleep of the just I'll wake to find a new day dawns Where sunlight gleams and moonlight yawns A little death till morning light, In sleep's forget I say goodnight Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

A beautyful little lullabye there Kethry. I enjoyed it very much. And now it's midnight here in Norway, so I think I'm going to do just what you just told me. Good night Kethry  ~Broken~ Oh God! Why the angels fall first? |

'Sleep the sleep of the just', this line made your work. Though mine, beautifully renewed, didn't hurt---Ha! This will tell me a story again and again. |
