Sonnet Slumber

The stars came down in harmony,

Assembled, sparkling, in mid-air,

The night took on, in midnight hue,

Meticulous, black velvet care.

The moon hung steadily in place,

And shone in watchful, brilliant glow,

The sky waited, in reverent hush,

As all was still, in sleep, below.

Imagine my delight to find,

After I slept so peacefully,

That I awoke with thoughts of you,

And found I’d dreamt in poetry!

Autumn Leaves
