Night is for sleeping,
not worrying, or weeping.
Night is for dreaming,
for healing, believing.
It gives itself over
to Sun for
safe~keeping
Night is for subconsciousness,
it’s sorting, and up~keeping.
Night is for deliverance~
Night is for Sleeping.

“night is for deliverance”…great line!
There is a lullaby-like quality to this piece that lulls me. So peaceful.
This repetition of the phrase ‘night is’ is truly hypnotic: I trust you, the speaker of these words, with your calm tones: they bring a sense of peacefulness and reassurance to these words. This is a gentle, powerful, beautiful piece of writing.
Very nice, Amanda. I like this line very much.
