42. Goodnight

Hold me tight,
All through the night
Tucked under your face,
Warm in your embrace
Keep the monsters away
And all the fears at bay.

Sail in distant waters,
Hike the tallest mountains,
Lost in deep forests
Or with crowds in forgotten cities-
Take me away
With you,
In all your dreams,
In adventures anew

Nights that have never been better
Sleep and dreams that no more scatter,
In your arms, held fast
Peace, at long last.
