Snow's Writing for 2019, 2020, & Beyond

Bedtime Reading

I close my eyes
and contemplate my next read,
choosing a book for bedtime reading
isn't easy.

It can't be anything
too exciting,
terrifying,
or boring.

I want a book
to relax my mind,
prepare me for sleep,
and encourage sweet dreams.

Should I choose
a book of poetry,
scriptures,
or personal essays?

Which genre
will help me rest
on this pleasant
autumn night?
