at long last slumber
calls soft to me in yawn form
warm sheets beckoning
and blankets of safe cacoon
swathe me in delightful dreams

Chris..what on earth were you doing up at that hour??
Did these beautiful words come to you in a dream?
I suppose perhaps you may still be asleep now,
but this is very well written.

LOL...2:19 a.m.? I should GUESS SO!

It's been gone awhile, but I imagine
my insomnia will return one day soon,
and I will watch the nightbirds on
their hunt...

well done, Chris!

This speaks to me right now! So lovely!

It's 1.36am here and ... hmmmm I decided a little late to bake bread (I love that!), but it needs so much time and now I hope to remain awake until it's cooked!! Lol!

Good night!

Love, Margherita
