THE WILD NIGHT OF SLEEP
Christina Isobel
White blue-moon
with the brilliance of full
Sky indigo
with a hint of Parrish
Like fallen stars,
shimmer home lights
on distant hills
Woozy me
gowned in white
with half lidded eyes
Down on my bed
I stretch to the moon
revel in its peace
I release
but then tighten
from a worry way wondering:
What will I face
in this dark world place
of confounding
rhythms and rhymes
Unwinding and knitting
duo pattern of sleep,
pearls garner
from paradise
Wild night hold me
in your unfathomable arms
