Angels Sleep

Take a moment
And just breathe
The worst is certainly
Over
But the journey is not
After you cried
Burning tears
Yelled at the moon
For shining too bright
After you shake
Your fist
Or stomp your feet
Remember
You need your sleep
Tuck your wings
Tightly in
Rest your halo
On that soft pillow
Your wings are
Not broken
Only a miniscule clip
Soon
Very soon
You'll be flying again
Silence that voice
Inside your head
Your perspective is all ajar
I think it's time
You go to bed
Don't fear the night
Don't worry about tomorrow.

Remember when you
Were young and
Carefree?
Racing across the moon
And counting sheep?
Let this moment be similar
You are an angel
And even angels
Need their sleep.
