At Least We Dream
When in an evening quiet,
You settle with the night and day"s long lumbering lariat has loosed the spirit with its light
and nothing stands between moon or stars that lace the sky.
If tears were there the soft night air
has gentled all them dry.
The lover's chorus in the pond are wooing
all to sleep, at least to dream in sanguine shade of worlds where peace they keep.
Pray your footsteps linger in lands so sweet as they
Where we are interlopers only
And love the land of day.
Janelle Gregory

Nice calming verse Janelle, I like it a lot. Well worth my 1¢ upvote.
Hey, @wandrnrose7.
I very much enjoyed this. The cadence, the message, the use of words. It all worked. I also learned that 'gentle' can be used as a verb, too! I'd never seen it used like that before, but it fits perfectly. :)
I like also how the prompt fits so naturally into it that it doesn't stand out at all. It is just another part of the whole. Very well done.
Thank you for such a wonderful comment @glenalbrethen. !tip
