~~~~~~~~~~Sleep Eludes Me~~~~~~~~~~

Sleep eludes me
life dost not
Lady Moon
is caressing and comforting
and the rest she brings is enough
in my sign of Virgo
I look at the stars like tiny small dots
and know they are planets of an era that would not be
Glad to be alive
and for all I got
it was much more than I thought would be
and yet not
'cause all I got I had dreamed of
and yet not
'cause all she got I always said is too good to be true
so why when my future's brightened in multifold
do I have to think about the obvious
that a lady like her can not in life alone walk
I am truly glad she accepted me and I thought
this is a dream, but it were not
I live by her lead, as always I oblige
and are thankful for thee
and that you too of me not think otherwise
I am glad to be near you and would til the end
as the time slips by you might cherish me more than a friend
Sleep eluded me
life didst not
Lady Night
I caress and comfort
and the rest she brings is enough
in her sign of Scorpio
I see the stars as nearer my window now
I hear the crickets sing in summer
I see the first snow fall
I hear my lady call:
"Sleep eludes thee, my dear one."
