It is still tonight
and the melted moon
sheds a silver peace
on dazzled rooftops.
No distant trains,
no siren streets,
no drunken song
from men too married for their liking.
even small animals only whisper their calls
and all is well.
I am at peace
heavy limbs
ache with joy.
A bed beckons
a soft of sheets
a warmth of stories.
”I will arise and go now”(1)
to the upper room
to dream of seas and shells
and listen all night
to the surf’s soft sighing
(1) From the lake isle of Innesfree by WB Yeats
