Ajar
peanuts and cracker jacks
bass line beat
shining stars and night black
rocks me in my sleep
creeping silence settles in
leaving me to dream
wiping clean darkest sins
spotlight mind in moonlight beams
killer blast of unseen noise
jars me out of peace
waking bones and rattling poise
I question, "Where is the beast"
fly to the window sealed
and to the doors locked tight
morning's glory lined is reeled
no more worry of his bite
outsides distance not crossed
beaten by the gentle rain
daydreams covered by damp moss
sweet sleep shall come again
