Day's End

 Day's End
 

As the day draws to its heart the evening

 To prepare for the night think on these things

Those that please the mind

Think of things that went well
 

 Then think of feelings that spin you gently

As a ballerina's dress

Follow the lace turning slowly turning

Into the darkness of dream times
 

Where the lights from being,

Throws no shadow on your ways

Glow with the softness of just being you

Think that all things new
 

Are there to please your sleep time

Join me in this dream of mine,

Where free from troubles

That are sown, we drift away,

Then are gone
 

To places now showing warm times

There to be with yours and mine

Just feelings take them one by one

Let them kiss as the warmth of the sun
 

Our minds to rest them in our ways

Tomorrow’s dreams of peace and love

A gift or two from those we love

Not a gift purchased for me
 

Something given that’s oh so free

To give this way is so good indeed

It’s my wishes for the things I need

Journeys time in dreams come true
 

To spend this little time with you
