These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Quiet Moments, Part #2

When the day's activities
have drawn to quiet times,
sleepy time proclivities
as eyelids close betimes.

Daydreams give way to dreams at night.
Each breath doth slow to sway.
Starry curtain seems as bright
as diamonds where they lay.

World asleep, though never all
for the sun shines, while we spin.
In my corner of the ball
are resting souls, again.

Quiet poet moments known
apply the balm of peace.
When the wakeful thoughts have flown
the soul can know release.
