patrol the grounds
check the trees,
shut the gates
and set the watch;
remove refuse
broker the close
of the kitchen and hearth.
Abandon all the worry
of the past living day.
Hanging are the orchids,
geckos run the ramparts,
ants tarry with nightly cleaning,
broken are the whispers,
Ghosts command the creaking,
fathers break the pantry,
couriers slumber all the deeply,
guests snore sleepy in their chambers,
doggies whimper dreamy,
& princes and princesses sleep
peaceful.
Bricks cast shadows from the lamp light;
stars shine broken in starry starlight,
on windows darkened,
On full summers,
final winters,
shiny spring,
resting fall.
Comfort castle
cozy fort
sanctuary becoming
sanctum heart!
