Goodnight

Sweet are the sounds of the water lapping softly,
liquid pleasure, shining treasure
soothe my spirit, soothe my mind...
cool and freshen, smoothe reflection
waves in rhythm intertwine...

remind me of love, and loving loved ones,
remind me of oh so sweet serenity
remind me not of the rough beneath the surface
not of the tears or fears or cruelty...

And here I am breathing the freshness
rising from the surface like a mist,
to revive me and recreate me
like the comfort in my loved one's kiss...

Raise my arms to feel the sunbeams,
cast my body into the breeze
and my body is so thin and light
I rise above the trees...

And awake as darkness finds me,
as silver stars swim in pools of moonlight.
And I smile as I leave and whisper softly,
goodnight my love, goodnight

I long for a place to lay my head
a home fragrant,pleasant, a well made bed.
Treasures made by little hands
and the feeling God loves me and understands.
