...so chimes the clock... The Midnight Hour

Midnight Hour

deep be the blue of a silken sapphire cloak
drift I into raven enfolds of this midnight hour
the waxing moon casts its brilliant light
slumber sweet slumber greets the night.

...captivating surrender...sleep

midnight be the hour
tranquility be the moment
blue be its blush
the night in full bloom
a celestial garden of blue
the dark beckons
drift I into raven enfolds
suspended and embraced
captivating surrender
floret firmament of sleep
floret firmament of sleep.
