Darkness to the right,
Darkness to the left
Quiet, stillness, contemplation
A place we’ve all been
Respite from the day’s duties
Rejuvenate, prepare for another day
Blue light before me
The constant companion
I could sleep, I should slumber
Once again, it escapes me
Neck on pillow, back comfortably resting
Mellow music meant to lull me away
Faint sounds of him sleeping near me
Warmth of protection covers me
The scene is set as it should be
A ritual of sorts known to all
Blue light still shining
The constant companion
I could sleep, I should slumber
Once again it escapes me
This dance in the dark
Knowing it will not allow
What my mind and body require
Words begin to form in my mind
I feel the thoughts illuminate
Wanting to be expressed
The blue light still shining
The constant companion
I could sleep, I should slumber
Once again it escapes me
