Dream
I suppose
this day must end.
May you, beneath
its shadow, Friend,
fancy a place
to ease your soul,
caress your heart,
soothe and console
worries that cause
your wrinkled brow...
may those thoughts fade,
at least, for now.
And may the softness
of Eventide,
comfort your spirit,
rest by your side
while stars of wonder,
heaven sent,
shine o'er you, sleeping,
your day now, spent.

Thank you for this gentle poem that makes the reader pause, reflect, and appreciate.
Once again, your words are filled with hope and kindness, at a time when they are in short supply.

Only sleeping...
they are only sleeping, to a rest they come. Waiting, waiting for us to catch up. I like the gentle euphonism, it sounds so much better than death, a rather harsh divorce from our lives.

Enjoyed the read. I think you want o'er, not o're, though why not over?
fancy, line 5, seems an odd choice of word.

Hello, Ray,
Thank you for catching the typo! As far as "o'er" and "fancy" - they simply came out as I was creating. I think they add a softness, a gentle mood.
I appreciate your comments!

Very soft and tranquil
I like how the stars act like a quiet guard watching over the sleeping. The poem feels like you have just laid down on the softest bed after a long tiring day. I really liked this one.
