Night times Blanket - Free verse



O night times blanket
Covering day
Leaves our mind to rest
And play
As we slumber through
The night
So fades reality's
Burning light
Into dreams we slowly
Fall
To mercy of the minds
Recall
How sweet and sour dreams
Can be
Stark sometimes with
Mystery
Endless on and on
Some seem
Enough to make you wake
And scream
Enough to make you
Wonder why
You'd ever close your
Sleepy eye
But then we wake and
Morning's come
Night times gone our dreams
Are numb
It's not until the day
Is bright
We then recall our dreams
Of night.
