A Sliver Of Sky
A Bedtime Story

A sliver of sky
is all that I
can spy
through my bedroom window
in the early light of dawn
I yawn
The summer sun glides across the sky
twelve hours have gone by
in a blink of an eye
the day completed
my body depleted
I yawn
Time for bed
I rest my head
until
the full moon casts its light
on my face
in the night
disturbing my dreams
with its celestial beams
I yawn
I turn
I toss
I’m at a loss
fully awake
I feel a headache
coming on
at dawn
I yawn
