Lullaby Tonight


Have you ever been on the pathway to sleep
And all you could see was circles
spiraling,
twisting and falling like mild paints on the wall?

Strange as it seems…
Weird songs of night come alive:
Sweet melodies of the frog choir across the road,
where the rainwater logs…
And the trembling voices of the cricket clan
play a wonderful tune, which, accustomed to the night,
brings relief and some soothing.

Night throws a party of black cloak
over the boring earth.
From my window, yawns filter in,
noises of other activities,
but nothing to interrupt a well-deserved sleep.

So good night and sleep tight.
May angels keep you safe.
