bedtime story

 

bedtime story

 

the softness of summer light

late afternoon early evening

the way it adheres to solid surfaces

the way it emanates from leaf and tree

the way it washes across the grass

the way it gathers in the air

the way it breathes like music

and if you listen

the way it tells your story

using only the present tense

gilding the moment …

 

then the way twilight turns to dusk

turns to darkness incomplete

turns to starlight distance crossed

 

and so to sleep
