I didn’t sleep much last night
my mind kept wandering as
it sometimes does
drifting in and out of dreams
to places I’ve been and some
not yet seen
the streetlight seems to be
brighter and I curse the light
and pray for sleep

I want to focus on better dreams
when I lay my head upon my pillow
in the storms of night, my thoughts billow
I want to focus on better dreams
take the helm and sail on a tranquil sea
free my mind from all accumulated debris
I want to focus on better dreams
navigate the stars in search of light
praying for peace in the dark of night

Tonight, there's a
beautiful full moon
starlight dances in the windless night
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes
longing to abandon this safe cocoon
glistening snow, golden beams of light
tonight there's a beautiful full moon
you ghosted me, my heart marooned
this song of ours, we need to re-write
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes
dreaming of you, morning arrives soon
lyrical poems, words of love, shall I recite
tonight there's a beautiful full moon
entranced darkness, luminous swoon
illusions of yesterday, tomorrow's delight
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes
serenading my beloved, I'm a blue loon
passion and fire, distant stars ignite
tonight there's a beautiful full moon
my soul recalls, sweet beguiling tunes

Thank-you for visiting
author's note: It snowed here this
week, the night air crisp and cold
the beautiful full moon warmed the night
