As you sleep, the shadows 
in the window walk across your body... 
Protecting your soul
  Softly... 
  Daintily... 
Brushing emissions of light 
Onto your peaceful face

Your eyelids are the felicity 
Of all that is tepid
Adorned with lashes of silk ebony...
Resting in perfect unity

Your lips- like candy coated apples- 
Still expose the melody of a smile
That lived in your waking day

Little angels enlighten your ears 
With spiritual guidance...
Attending you patiently 
Until morning's first breath.
For your repose is contentment 
In the eyes of darkened sky
