Darkness has settled around the house
the sun pulling up the night sky
to cover his warmth and dim his rays
while taking the morn to others
Mother moon slips in half way
mercurial in her moods of disclosure
unable to shine bright from within
she steals the suns light as he sleeps
Animals all either rise or slumber
nocturnal creatures roam to feed
while diurnal’s find a place to shelter
safe and sound until morning
I pad down the hallway on bare feet
the soft slapping sound reminds me
it is time to sleep my body needing rest
turn the lights out going to bed alone
