the stars
& spirits
will keep
company

while you
drift
to sleep

your heart
needs a break
your mind
needs to dream

while your soul
takes control

this is
the time
for the tête-à-tête
between souls
consoling
carousing
celebrating
their strengths
with no
intrusions
from wakefulness

uninterrupted
plans
are set
and etched
into your dreams

turning
their night time play
into
your realities stage

unbeknownst
to most
the soul’s
tête-à-tête
occurs
when reality
is at it’s worst
curing
healing
peeling
back layers
of dirt & grime
cleansing the
remains
of stains
