Sunlight yawns and sighing, dons a cloudy negligée,
Tired trees tucked by the breeze fold leafy limbs to pray;
Sky surveys through rainbow haze as God turns out the light,
Day descends, and as she bends, she kisses me goodnight.

Tucked into the Root of Jesse
Tucked into the Root of Jesse,
Anchored there by wooden grain;
Feeding on the bark of crosses,
Nourished by the Saviour’s vein.
Tucked In
The garden takes a hard-earned rest
beneath its Mother’s snowy breast;
beneath a quilt of fallen snow,
the roots snore on, tucked in below.
Go to Sleep, My Son
Go to sleep, my son,
the cold has come to stay;
dream your dreams of springtime sun
while winter has its sway.
Drift to lands of warmth and grace
while tucked in cosy bed;
my roots will hold your heart in place,
so rest your weary head.
Mummified
Mummified in icy tomb,
Petrified in snowy case;
Sleeping deep in winter’s womb,
Snuggled down ‘neath quilted lace.
Drowser, nap the cold away,
Tucked and bundled in your bed;
Dream of Spring’s approaching day
As fairer visions fill your head.

The irony, the irony! The common name of this plant? “Snow in Summer”…
Night-Light Rays
On blue damask, a quilted sky,
The lamp-lit Moon turns autumn eye
To cooling earth; with knowing gaze,
She tucks me in, with night-light rays.
Tucked In
Good night, sleep tight,
I’ll tuck you in by evening light;
The stars will sing your lullabies,
The moon will kiss your tired eyes.
Good night, sleep tight,
I’ll see you when the morning’s bright…
