At night – an untitled poem

and the sky
moving with you.
Sleep comes deeply.

This is a found poem. The original inspirational source has been lost. This has been previously published in DAYBREAK: A magazine of Poetry and Conversation. The editor, Virginia, passed away, and the magazine is now defunct. She was a beautiful soul, and she is missed.
