tonight sleep like a rock
by Tanner Brockwell

tonight sleep like a rock
that soul deep in
where gathered shelter
is your refuge
this is your soothing
dreams that enter within
are the dream that’s in
every fiber laid flat
smooth over the surface
tingling with excitement
your dreams are welcome
and in they are that dream
deep inside inside in go
to sleep as you would
in that moment between
two potentials dusk to dawn

dreamt the symbols
by tanner brockwell

dreamt the symbols
of clime for once
immutably strange
they were glyphs
of passing fronts
rising lowering
ready me for warmth
and culpably feign
not new quarters
only the repetition
of a string of days
strung as orbs
upon the weft
of a silken home
dancing as new dawn
with westerly
sparkles and laughs
rapt attend this is unique
this is when
the last night change
drifts into dimming memory
that newest and fine
a remarkable thing
any old time
is a newly won prize
so rightly here
so awesomely see
this is wonderous and free

pray do tell
by tanner brockwell

pray do tell
the quirks and feebles
that make you your heartbeat
alive inside willing
to dance the jig
heels up and down
pounding the floor
there is no tomorrow
then that dawn will be
no emptier than begun
or full of life inside
creeping sunlight
fell across the hills
touching the dew
set in the night alight
and gleams crystal strand
upon the webs upon the door sill
where e’en sprites fell
in a mirthful dance
upon the threshold of a doorway
where light bounding fell outside
and the fire in was sparking and warm
take a tipple a sip and shout hoh
chasing dreams in the fading embers

blue in midnight blue
by tanner brockwell

blue in midnight blue
all beneath the moon
unfurled a whirl
caught with a breeze
the air is soft and low
and down the tendrils grow
with bloom and petals so
softer than silk
the night is sown
with a thousand tiny seeds
a glitter in the field
and grow and grow
for soon a bud
peeking in the light
a watchful moon
with gentle known
the winds pull
and tug the leaves
lithe they know
without effort
to emerge for reveling
beneath the lights
that shine until
dawn crimson blows

for each buzz
by tanner brockwell

for each buzz
the reach of
the beach
because
the dawn is light
there after night
and findings flit
in the inner gift
the outer edge
of hidden arms
and hidden swarms
puffin cloud appear
wishing sweetness near
lost morning comber
in beach set
beyond the shore end
finding mornings when
fog and mist lift
