New bed

My first night in my new bed and my first night in a room of my own. I certainly dropped off without a problem - will it last??


"To wake into this night silence
when the wind has dropped
and everything is aftermath and dark

- this is the dream the spoke about,
this is belated, vanished clean away
into the sleep of a child.

I had forgotten how quietly
a baby's skin alters in starlight.
When morning comes two hours from now

he will seem like a different child -
one having flown through open skies
to alight here in the first cries of the day."

(James McGonigal - Flight)
