GOODNIGHT TO YOU ALL
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
I want to lay down on a pillow of angels feathers
Cover myself up in sheets of silk
Protect myself from all kinds of weathers
Drink the final glass of milk
Smell the spray of lavender
Easing me into a golden sleep
Not hearing anything around me
Not even if someone will creep
Drifting now
A hand to my brow
Then taking my arm
To their perfect place
Where there is no harm
Through snow-white clouds
And yellow sun
When I dream of what my life will become
My shell has been left on the bed
For someone to say
Well she is dead
Then all kind words may be said
Of how I was way back when
What I meant to them
Well words may choke
As it is a joke
See how long it takes them to find me
For I have set myself free
No more pain
Not a sign of madness
Good ridding’s to sadness
I will travel up a silver stream
Where I will catch a sunbeam
Blow a brightly coloured star
Ride a carriage for a car
Smell forever spring daffodils
Admire the heather on the hills
Ski through mountains
Drink from fountains
A new place I call my home
Where I always will roam
But never get lost
See seasons of winters
But never feel frost
In summer I will learn
Though won’t burn
In autumn I won’t fall
And springtime will call
So, goodnight to you all
