Night falls
I am weary
Heavy lids close
Still the light
Shimmers through
The darkness
Imaginary figures
Move, sway
Shadows weave
An endless tale
Within corners
Of the room
Sheets rustle
Lashes flutter
Semi-closed
A glimpse
Into the
Void
Dreams
Take over
Nightmares
Consume
Still the light
Shimmers through
The darkness

Kind of nostalgic but dark? In a very smooth rather sensitive way, Maybe like someone who wonders about all the little events at nighttime…lovely as ever.
All the best

Thanks Laureen, and yes, dark. It was a very vivid nightmare that woke me in a sweat. Hope that was the only one like it!
