Midnight Wonders
I was tossing in my bed in the midnight hour, struggling to get a wink of sleep, but my eyes lay on the clock tower.
I looked upon the dark sky; it was adorned with sparkling pearls, which giggled at me and put a shine to my curls.
I gazed at the chubby moon, which was white and glistening like milk. Gave me a lovely, motherly smile through her lips as rosy pink.
All these magnificent objects made my mind calm. My eyelids started drooping. I was grateful for their wonderful charm.
Nature had arrived to aid me when I was trying to catch sleep. She, with her caring palms, lulled me to slumber, so deep.
