The night fits itself snugly into pitch black pajamas
and loiters around with the man in the moon,
while billions of stars join in a distant lullaby,
humming a timeless tune.
As the earth orbits and edges towards sleep,
the tides realign and shadows sink.
Slowly, so slowly bodies float away
to a brighter sun, closer today.
Not just live and let live, but live and help live

The ancient eavesdropper 
🙂 I love this. I pictured “the night” in black footy pj’s hanging out with the man in the moon singing bad karaoke! Maybe that is just my messed up brain or lack of sleep or lack of coffee or maybe all of the above…
Thank you, Melanie! Haha! I love the way your mind operates, my friend! And wouldn’t it be ironic if the night and moon man were belting out REM’s “Man on the Moon”! Now picture the man in the moon donning his nighttime cape, wrestling Andy Kaufman while we sleep. Not a pretty sight, right? Gives new meaning to sore eyes 😉
Cheers,
Tyler
No!!! Not a pretty sight at all….my mind’s eye is burning!

Love that first line Tyler.
Thank you! I am a kid at heart who sees the world as a child waiting to be tucked in and told bedtime stories over and over again. Hope you have a wonderful week, my friend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
This is beautiful. I love the images in this poem – night in snug pajamas, and stars humming a tune, among others.
Thank you!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
A lullaby from the stars; how sweet is that!
Thank you!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
Reblogged this on The ancient eavesdropper.
Lively imagery! This could also be a great story for children. There is a verse in Job that speaks about the stars singing together. Job 38:7
Thank you kindly, my friend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
Love your imagery and love the humour in the idea of night loitering around with the man in the moon.
Thank you kindly, my friend! I’m so glad you enjoyed my poem 🙂 Have a wonderful Friday and weekend, Mari!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
