The sounds of snoring
In a three part harmony
I am the only audience
The tickets are free
Whooping wings fluttering
Birds of prey
The wind whistling past a closed window
All I recount the totality of my day
Hidden sun
Glistening moonlight
Covering a body
Once soaked in sweat from running outside
A midnight snack
To curve the hunger
A focal point to
Drift off to
A long awaited baritone voice
That never comes through
It echoes in my mind like clock work
Turn off those lights, go to bed!
I comply aware that he is struggling to sleep too
Or got up for a leak
Dad my mind keeps on running
I can’t go to sleep
He replies, Try not to think so much baby girl
Get some rest
Good night Dad, I said with a smirk as wide as all outdoors
His firm yet kind reassurance
Brought peace and happiness
Snuggling my head into a giving pillow
I would sail into my dreams
Knowing that I’m loved
And understanding the beauty
That night time brings
Love always, Esha ❤
