Invoking the Moon

A Poem for Sleep

Imagine the moon loves you
And then,
                   slow
                          down


Enough to be held by the thought of it
Then, by the
                          love
                                 itself


The Call: Moonlight, O soft dream keeper!
And whisper:
             
                                sweet
                                         sleep
