And then we woke and forgot anything ever happened

Poem Body

The night fell in all white and strong
A whistling through the window's song
No hurry to her resting place
Came stealing steps from days long race

She offered up a healing calm
A note or two from nature's psalm
With trees all wrapped in street light glow
She sang a tune we used to know

As time took moment for a pause
And freed us from our daily laws
A silence came and held the land
And let us sleep all hand-in-hand
