~ Night Creeps

Night creeps around my feet;
The cares of day abate.
The chores that have been left undone
For another day can wait.

The burdens of a hurried day
Slip gently from my mind.
Sleep reaches out and welcomes me
Across the gulf of time.

A brief little beauty, with great simplicity. Smooth and even soothing. Read my'Perhaps A Dream'

Thoughtful little poem. In the end the final sleep lifts all our burdens left undone.

The title is a little misleading ;) I though I was going to be a 'Spooooky' poem, but instead I found it to be lovely and serene like a lullaby. I love your use of rhyme and the rhythm was soothing. Very nice.
