+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
A starlit blanket of indigo
Is a coverlet of stars,
Silver rays beam down
O'er shadowed ground,
From the gibbous moon afar.
This summer's eve,
A balmy breeze,
Bends willow trees in sway,
While moonlit nite,
With stars so brite,
Keeps mares of nite at bay.

no nightmares for you
starlight keeps them far away
sleep with cooling breeze

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Ethereal Earth Angel echoes elegant reflections of lovely moon and cloudless skys and sleepy sighs tonight!  Sweet dreaming!     ....jo

May I lay me down to sleep beneath earth angel's poetry and dream sweet dreams, so whisper soft, while angel wings cover me.
Loved this.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
