MUSING

As the blanket of night
engulfs our tired mind
we leave the mundane
drifting into the sublime
in the solitude of silence
divulging secrets of mind
that there in isolation hide
awaiting the dark of night.

In that in-between semi state
fantasies and dreams emerge
embedded deep in memories
lives and loves once cherished
vying with more current hopes
of successes in amour and love
romantic affairs winning hearts
being loved, our musing turned
into honesty and truth as sleep
our weary minds puts at ease.
