My Night's Soul

Goodnight, Goodnight

Pry my eyes awake-

Still forsaken fears

My soul

You may not take.

Tonight

I am a light-

The ceiling dark,

The ground is bright;

The windows wide,

The blankets tight.

My soul remains-

Goodnight Midnight

Pry my thighs agape-

Still forsaken fears

My soul

You may not take.

Familiar faces on my wall,

Rectangular memories

Floating on, on, and on

Above my crown

My umbrella, my shade

Made from the hearts

Of the loved ones I gave

My dankest bits to,

They love me still.

My soul sustains-

Good Morning, Good Morning

Pry my smile away-

Still forsaken fears

My soul

You may not take.

This morning

I am brave

For I know my soul is strength.
