Dark Stillness

The darkness and stillness of the night are comforting They can be hypnotic Drawing one towards sleep As the city noises stop The feeling of the coolness of the air as the temperature drops Feels wonderful After the heat of the day The sky turns black velvet with a hint of starlight or perhaps a sliver of moon The warmth of the bed draws you in Covered with sheets and blankets wrapped for the night As you lie there listening to the quiet your body craves sleep as your eyes begin to close Dreamland awaits
