Goodnight

It is very late and now I must go  for the stars are twinkling,  calling to me with a furtive wink,  a secret message shared between us.  It’s time to sleep,  to join them in the sky,  riding their shimmering tails,  playing hide-and-seek behind the clouds  while our wise moon looks on and smiles,  a smile so mysterious and ancestral, protective.  I become a child again,  a particle in space,  timeless  as my soul returns  to the playground in the sky,  in the universe.  Joyful, content and weightless of worry...... until the haughty sun  shows its presence and  disrupts the games.  With its first showing of rays  the stars hide behind the moon who,  quietly, quietly leaves with a wistful sigh.  And I return down  to the arms of mother earth,  until the night returns tomorrow  to claim my presence once again.
