Hush

hush
don’t interrupt
the stillness
of the night
like a mother
with a new born babe
keep it wrapped tight
hold it close until morning light
don’t wake it
with your worries and woes
don’t count sheep
it disturbs the soul
lie in repose
soak in the silence
feel the weight of the night
in the darkness that surrounds you
your eyes will tire
and slumber will arrive
the silence of the night
will take your hand and fly
hand in hand
you will soar high
into dream skies
where everything is mighty fine
here you will feel wide awake
in dreams so sublime you want to stay
imagination, heart and mind revived
the silence of the night will now kiss you goodbye.
Ah Jes, the dilemma of the Night, Daemon to the Parkie friend and muse to the poet.!
Love this , I was reeled in from the first couple of lines, so many evocative images, wonderful well done.
That really appeals to my senses, the imagey is beautiful and as a complete message is really important. I'm just dipping into a few poems today as i have a busy day now. Would love to look at lots more poets and poets when I have more time to explore
