"Safely Sleeping" by Angie Livingstone (The Glittering Fox)

Introduction

This is my seventieth piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's inspirational artwork. I love the beautiful autumnal colours in this work.

Our book, "The Art Of The Glittering Fox", is now available on Amazon throughout the world.

This poem is a Terza Rima

The music "MLK" by U2 from "The Unforgettable Fire" is perfect for this poem. Listen while you read.

"Sleep Tonight,

And May Your Dreams Be Realised"

Sleep Now

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’ซ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ›

The Night Is Here, The Moon And Stars Are Shining

All Is Quiet There's Not A Sound To Be Heard

Mystic White Hare O'er The Treetops Is Flying

๐ŸŒœโœจ๐Ÿ‡โœจ๐ŸŒ›

Mother And Her Leveret Sleep Safely There

Her Warm Burrow For Them In This Quiet Night

This Is Their Home Where Comfort And Love They Share

๐ŸŒœ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’ซ๐ŸŒ›

At Break Of Day, They Wake To The First Sunlight

And Will Run Over Land And Under The Trees

Returning Later To Disappear From Sight

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ›

When The Hare And Her Child Are There, No One Sees

Their Burrow Is The Place Where Rest They Will Take

A Caring Mother Is Whom Gaia Does See

๐ŸŒœ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒ›

The Mystic White Hare Flying, Stars In Her Wake

Mother And Child In The Burrow, Sleeping, Safe
