"Safe and Sound"

8" x 8" acrylic on paper

Safe and Sound

Streaks of red,

Paint the sky,

Pink, orange, and gold.

Before the sun,

Falls from the sky,

And everything goes cold.

Indigo returns,

As do the stars,

A bright, shining light.

Guiding you back,

To your safe haven,

Away from the frozen, dark night.

But you want to begin again,

Stop feeling so small!

So you wait away,

For the light to peek around,

To make your new start,

This time, safe and sound.
