Sleep against the stormy blue

Watch the forest flicker by
in an unintelligible streak
 
Sleep on a warm summer’s eve
Say goodnight to the crickets 
and the fireflies outside the window
 
Sleep in the dewy fields
Until the splotchy night 
unfolds into crisp infant light
 
Sleep tucked against me
Under dying firelight 
and rough woven fabric 
 
Sleep until you are tired no more
rest your weary head against me
You have all the time you need. 
 
In the morning we will play, 
We will explore in frenzied fervor
romping carelessly in sync
